Thunderbird email address autocomplete list got clipped on some XFCE themes

[Ilya Almametov]

When one starts typing recipient email address in Thunderbird new message window an address autocomplete list appears offering some suitable variants for first typed letter. After pressing second key that list gets clipped to just several pixels in height, making that feature useless.

Please take a look on next bug report for details:
https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12329

After some research I realized that affected Xubuntu themes are: Bluebird, Greybird and Raleigh.
Moreover, affected Thunderbird versions are 38.x

My distro is Xubuntu 14.04.3 64-bit
