Re: Thunderbird can't write letters without restart

 

Hi Lars,

I get this problem frequently. Today it would not work after restart of
the program. Not even after reboot of the system.

What I tried to do is to 'Reply to all'. Then I tried many things, and
found that I could start a normal original letter (no reply, no
forward), and the cursor was active in its window. Then directly
afterwards, I could start a 'Reply to all' window and the cursor was
there and I could write the reply.

But I need to restart Thunderbird to get a cursor in the editing window
for a normal original letter.

Best regards
Nio
