I have this issue as well, but only the main window listing received
emails is affected and only Thunderbird exhibits this behavior; no other
programs nor the Desktop Environment itself.  Scrolling or moving the
mouse pointer over the corruption causes the window to re-paint
correctly.  It is very hit and miss, otherwise I would have attached a
screen shot.  I have had this phenomena for at least six months if not
longer.  Maverick Meerkat with standard window manager, running
2.6.35-31-generic, Thunderbird 3.1.16.  Running the FGLRX driver for my
ATI Radeon HD 5450 card.  I also use the FireTray extension that reduces
Thunderbird to a panel icon showing the number of unread emails.

Title:
  thunderbird 'folders' text corrupted

Status in “thunderbird” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in “xserver-xorg-video-intel” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: thunderbird

  Almost every time I open Thunderbird the 'folders' text is garbled up
  and corrupted (see attached screenshot).  It is not readable.  To
  corrupt the problem, I only need to hover my mouse over the text and
  it corrects itself.  Alternatively, opening a new window will fix it,
  sometimes just minimizing and maximizing thunderbird fixes it, etc.

  1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'lsb_release -rd' or System -> About Ubuntu
  11.04

  2) The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy pkgname' or by checking in Software Center
  Installed: 3.1.8+build3+nobinonly-0ubuntu1
  Candidate: 3.1.8+build3+nobinonly-0ubuntu1

  3) What you expected to happen
  The text to be legible

  4) What happened instead
  The text was all corrupted and unreadable.  Looks like a bunch of lines or something going through the text.
