I work as computer administrator in small company.

1. Had complain from user that "in e-mail something has changed
dramatically", Particularly those grayed out fields.

2. Upgraded my own Thunderbird version to see the changes and to see
what i can do about it. After short time was writing Re: email and
wanted to change recipient, but forgot. I usually remember to change
recipients if needed.

Title:
  Address fields are grey when composing messages

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

Bug description:
  When composing a message, any address field that does not have the
  cursor is shown as grey. While this is at first only a cosmetic
  glitch, it is also serious usability issue: Usually any field that can
  be edited is white and text that can't be edited is simply drawn grey.
  Now it looks like Thunderbird does not allow editing of the recipient
  addresses. Only when you try it regardless you discover that it is
  still editible.

  I attached a screenshot showing a stuffed up composer window.

  This bug appeared with the latest update of Thunderbird that was
  installed today.
