Display problems in Thunderbird (win10)

more options

Hi,

Since the last few updates of Thunderbird (not sure which version), I've had a display problem appear where mail folders and messages don't appear until I drag the mouse cursor over them, then they do (see image attached). Everything else works as expected.

I tried running in Safe mode, problem disappears.

I tried running in Safe mode, disabling addons and reseting toolbars, doesn't solve the problem.

I've tried updating my display drivers, no change.

Any ideas?

Try disabling hardware acceleration in Options/General/Indexing, restart TB. It's disabled in safe mode.
