Created attachment 134426 [details] proposed patch Actually this patch is the same one as I've attached to fix the same bug on firefox, Bug#157913 though, it needs to be applied to thunderbird as well since both are separate package even if the source code is basically the same.
Given the "must be upstream first" policy for mozilla patches, these bugs can't block FC6
Akira, can you file an upstream bug ?
Since this bugzilla report was filed, we have seriously upgraded Gecko-related packages in Rawhide, which may have resolved this issue. Users who have experienced this problem are encouraged to upgrade their system to the latest version of their distribution available. Closing this bug as CANTFIX. Please, reopen, if this bug is still reproducable on the latest update of your distribution. [This is mass-closing of bugs which seem to be too old and irrelevant anymore; we are sorry, if we are closing your bug in mistake; please, don't hesitate to reopen, if it is still alive issue.]
Still this can be reproduced with thunderbird-2.0.0.12-4.fc9.i386
