Andrew, for your specific question possibly it would be more promising to head over to MozillaZine and ask there, maybe also adding screenshots to visualise. At the same time, I can see your frustration. This is one more indicator of the pains that TB users are going through at the moment.

I have to say that I am astonished that this UI change has been pushed to the users for them to cope with on their own (be it via userChrome.css, theme changes or reverting back to TB 24.x), even though the earlier Bugzilla threads show that this has been "flagged" for at least several months already. And I am hopeful that all the additional users' feedback right here will be of help for the developers to create a 1) functional and 2) aesthetic default compose window UI.

As to the earlier Bugzilla threads that I was referring to:
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Thunderbird:UX/Priorities/31 at the bottom lists three reports:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=906264 (Linux, depends on this Bugzilla report)
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=867161 (OS X)
