used to automatically display the attachment pane (like you'd get with Alt-M) when opening a new compose window. Currently no effect here. Is this working for others?

What do mean is it working and what version of Thunderbird are we talking about?
Alt+M works for me and the attachment pane stays open each time I go to compose a new message.

Alt+M works here, but the attachment pane is not open next time I go to compose a new message. Yet about:config setting remains set to true. Perhaps it's not using that setting anymore and the state is just not being saved properly?
Happening on both 77b3 and the current release version (68.9.0?)

Thunderbird 68.9.0
Same here using 68.9.0 or 77.0b3 as long as the message has an attachment.
Glad that's cleared up.

I think it is one of the UI/UX improvements they are working on for version 78.0.
Alt+M enables on beta (and so does dragging a file near there), but I'd prefer it remembered state for next time.
