[SOLVED] Thunderbird 91.3.1 on Linux and Wayland

Post by tomdkat »

Hi! Has anyone running Thunderbird 91.3.1 on Linux w/ Wayland experienced any odd behavior? I recently upgraded to Ubuntu 21.10 and when I use Wayland, Thunderbird does some really strange things (flickering context menus, misplaced context menus, and so on). When I switch back to X, Thunderbird behaves as expected.

Thanks!

Peace...

When you click the "hamburger menu button" to open the menu, you cannot click it again to close it. You have to click elsewhere, and then the button looks open all the time afterwards. An example of a problem I see when using Wayland but not Xorg.
