Cannot view/expand attachment list when composing messages

When adding attachments to an email that I am composing, the attachment pane at the bottom of the window shows there are attachments and the size, but I cannot view the list of attachments, say to verify what I attached or delete an attachment. Clicking on the bar toggles the caret from > to v but does not show the list. I have also tried to resize the pane and the double arrow appears and can be dragged, but the pane does not resize.

I have also tried selecting and deselecting the "Attachment Pane" option form the View Menu, without success.

I have attached a screen shot.

Any help would be appreciated.

No issues here with 128/W11, but you have a few add-ons. Does the same thing happen in safe/troubleshoot mode (hold Shift when launching TB)? If not, resetting the toolbars and controls might fix it, or it might be due to an add-on.

Thank you for your quick and expert response. I was able to track this down to one of the add-ons that was also recently updated and I have reached out to the developer to report the issue.
