For what its worth, I think this is the root of the problem. What's wrong with a "bulkier" text field? What benefit does changing to single lines bring? The text box motive makes sense and has worked for years and years and years. I've used them on Windows, Linux, and OSX. And I never, ever, even once, considered that the compose UI at all felt bulky.
Why was it changed? If there was no valid reason, other than "they seemed bulky to me" please, for the love of Thunderbird, change them back.
I just find it ironic that that are bugs in Thunderbird that have been around for years that no one seems to care about but then UI elements get changed that didn't need to be changed in the first place.
It's NOT better and it is NOT an improvement. There was nothing "wrong" in the first place. :(
