Comment 66 for bug 1458593

It sounds like this issue hast been around for quite a while now without a real solution. I have had it for 1 1/2 years now (with always the most recent version of TB and Lightning on Win7/64) - working with web interfaces instead of lightning and hoping for a solution with each new version of TB and Lightning - in vain. Reading all these posts here, it feels like the solution is still far away, and my technical knowledge is not large enough to really contribute anything to a solution (however: I can help if there are problems to reproduce the problem!). Therefore I am seriously thinking about the use of Thunderbird which also seems to have new small but annoying issues with every new version.
It would be great to have some kind of a timeline for this issue. I really can't use Thunderbird like this, and I am thinking of switching back to Outlook - which would be a very sad transition, but I know no other really usable solution.
My feeling ist: Wouldn't it make much more sense to really develop one stable version of Thunderbird instead of coming out with new versions every few weeks? I have the feeling that both Thunderbird and Firefox kind of degraded since Mozilla decided to increase the pace for new versions - and this persistence of such a serious problem is really sad. Sorry to say that.
