Not being able to reset an edited sender to its original state does not look like a minor issue to me.
How does this affect recycled compose windows?

Title:
  Editing the "From" field for the current email only (as text, not
  dropdown)

Status in Mozilla Thunderbird Mail and News:
  Confirmed
Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: thunderbird

  I want to quite often use a particular email address (e.g. for writing
  to a mailing list), where I do not have added the email address to the
  account settings yet.

  However, Thunderbird does not allow to edit the From field, but only
  provides the configured email addresses in a dropdown.

  It would be nice, if you could also edit the From field in a text
  input.

  KMail provides this, for example, and there appear to be some
  extensions for it, but I'd like to avoid using an addon for this, but
  rather think it's a nice feature to have by default.

  I could imagine, that the last entry in the dropdown would say
  "Edit..." or "Custom..." and change the dropdown into a text field.
