[Bug 862497] Re: thunderbird missing window decoration

 

This bug is *not* fixed. I experience this regularly with Thunderbird
8.0+build1-0ubuntu0.11.10.1 on Ubuntu 11.10 Kernel 3.0.0-14-generic
x86_64

Compiz 1:0.9.6+bzr20110929-0ubuntu6
Unity 4.24.0-0ubuntu2b1
xorg 1:7.6+7ubuntu7

Thunderbird regularly loses all window decoration, but global menus do
still work. However, getting the window to actually take focus properly
only works with alt-tab. Clicking causes the GUI elements to react, but
the window does not move to top and the global menu doesn't enable.

Creating a new tab, and then dragging it off of the tab bar to make a
new window works correctly and the new window has proper decoration. The
old window can then be closed with ctrl-w.

Title:
  thunderbird missing window decoration

Status in “thunderbird” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  After updating my Beta-2 on Tuesday Sept 28, Thunderbird's UI went to
  hell.

  Specifically:
  1. When Global Menu Bar integration is enabled, the window lacks decoration (window border, buttons in upper left, title bar, etc) if you double click on the title bar (i.e. to make it a smaller window). After double clicking on the title bar, the window is unmovable and unresponsive.  

  2. If you disable the Global Menu Bar integration plugin, the window
  is responsive for resize but lack decoration
