*bird themes break adress autocompletion in thunderbird

[b3nmore]

When using the greybird or bluebird theme, the adress autocompletion list of thunderbirds compositor window is reduced to few pixel height, starting with the second key stroke (cf. attached image). Since the numix and orion theme work, I suspect it is an issue within the *bird themes.

I get this with trustys shimmer-themes (1.7.3-0ubuntu1) as well as with xenials (2.0.2-0ubuntu1).

Theres also an upstream bug report: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1151764

So maybe its an issue with thunderbird (xfwm4 was also suggested). However, since some themes do work, adjusting the others may be the easiest way to fix this.

This is fixed in thunderbird 45.0.
