#185111 — No refresh at thunderbird after Debian upgrade

Hi all,

I made an upgrade on a Debian testing installation (last one was 
something  like 5 weeks ago) and I experience that Thunderbird does not 
refresh its display. I can hardly do anything in that program.

Most of the times it refreshes if I go with my mouse over it. When 
invoked it starts with most of the display just grey. I can only see 
anything if I move the mouse.

I have no idea where to start to search for the solution, I'd appreciate 
if you could give me some useful hints.

I'm using a very old window manager: twm

Thank you.
Flo

PS: I can't even write this message, I am doing it in emacs and will 
copy it into Thunderbird (I hope it works).

This looks like a very recent thread in this list:

  Message-ID: <f3ba98b4-646c-823f-1ed1-4a463f6ebf73@torfree.net>
  Resent-Message-ID: <cCa6wOMIQAK.A.ebF.pyyjZB@bendel>

Or in the Webs:

  first message:
  https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2017/08/msg00623.html
  thread index:
  https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2017/08/thrd2.html#00623

There's a bug report:

  https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=871629

The solution seems to be upgrade thunderbird to 1:52.2.1-5 from sid or
downgrade to 1:52.2.1-4 (just quoting from a mail in the thread. Didn't
try myself).

Cheers

Thank you guys, that's it. I just downgraded from thunderbird 
[1:52.2.1-4+b1 (now, testing) -> 1:52.2.1-4~deb9u1 (stable)] .

Thank you very much, you saved my day.

Regards,
Flo
