@Thane: Thanks so much.  This pretty much disconfirms my working
hypothesis, at least for Thunderbird -- that going into Expo view is
necessary to trigger the problem -- but disconfirmation is useful
information nonetheless.

This seems to be a nasty bug in that I suspect it's going to be a hard
one for the developers to nail down.  It's specific to Mozilla software,
and seems to be a bad Mozilla / Unity 3D / Compiz interaction, possibly
also specific to certain video drivers (as not everyone has this problem
-- 68 affected users is a lot, but I suspect small compared to the
active Ubuntu user base who would take the time to report it).

So, the more we can do to narrow down the boundary conditions -- or
define some usage case that _always_ causes the problem for all users
affected -- the more we can help the developers isolate the problem
(obviously).  Unfortunately, I'm not sure what to suggest next, although
one question does come to mind:

Is anyone having this problem with a _fresh_ install of Oneiric (11.10)?
(I for one upgraded from a 11.04 fresh install to 11.10 on its release
date.)
