thunderbird "show remote content" and "other actions" buttons dangerously close

[B Bobo]

The "show remote content" button is immediately underneath the "other actions" button. They are much too close. It's too easy to hit "show remote content" by mistake when you try to select "other actions".

The consequence is that untrusted dangerous remote content can be loaded.

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.

Could you confirm that this is no longer a problem and that we can close the ticket?
Or, if it is still a problem, could you run the following (only once):

Thank you again for helping make Ubuntu and Thunderbird better.
