When replying or creating a new message, printing is not working, Thunderbird version 45

more options

Since upgrading to version 45, printing no longer works when you reply or create a new message. Neither selecting print from the menu nor using control P work. This worked in the previous version of thunderbird. Printing does work for new messages but not from a new or reply window.

Yes, printing from a draft or message being composed seems to be broken.

You should still be able to print if you go via print preview.

Thanks for the response. Is this problem being worked on? If so, any idea when there might be an update? I think there is also some issue using print preview, but I will check with the user on that.

The problem with using print preview is it does not show the senders email address. Is there an easy way to go to a previous version that does not have this issue?

Old versions are available here.

Thanks for the link. One more question. To go back to an older version can I install it on top of the what is there or do I need to backup, uninstall and reinstall? Thanks again.
