Bug Description

Ever since the update to 78.7.1 (64-bit) Thunderbird attempts at showing icons next to the folders in the folder pane. Hidpi settings cause the font to scale, but the icons don't scale (at the same level? at all?). This entirely breaks the rendering of the folder pane on high resolution displays with downscaled fonts.

Screenshot attached.

I expect Thunderbird to show a neat folder pane

It doesn't, rendering is broken due to failed scaling of the icons

OK, re-enabling userChrome.css according to

http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=3064381&start=6

and creating a userChrome.css as follows:

/* Thunderbird userChrome.css */

@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul");

#folderTree > treechildren::-moz-tree-image {
  width: 10px !important;
  height: 10px !important;
}

#folderTree > treechildren::-moz-tree-cell-text {
  padding-bottom: 1px !important;
}

provides a temporary solution!
