Just noticed this recently.

Deactivating plugins fixes it. It looks like the Default 31 in Appearance is causing it. Any fix?

Also, Thunderbird is now crashing from time to time since version 31 was installed.

- Checking and unchecking Smooth Scrolling does not change situation. - With a recent update, moving the slider to the right of the folders became "jerky". - Selecting "Restart with Add-ons Disabled" from the help menu fixes the "jerkiness". - The only add-ons I have are two extensions, they are: 

          Change the reply header and the reply format 0.8.3
          Return Receipt Toolbar button 0.16
   and one "Appearance" extension, which is
           Default 31.0

- Manually disabling the two extensions doesn't fix the problem. - Since there is no way to manually disable Default 31.0, I assume it is the cause of the jerky slider. I did try another theme and then disabled Default 31.0 but that didn't fix it either do I went back to Default 31.0 and deleted the trial theme.

What about the more frequent crashes?
