Can you test thunderbird 12 from updates?
I just updated to 12.0.1, still broken.
Can you please try it in safe mode? (thunderbird -safe-mode). Can you try a fres new profile? Please attach a screen of the corrupted popup.

the problem does not occur in safe mode. It also does not occur on another system, running Fedora 17, with the gnome-classic desktop. It runs gnome-classic because of a low grade video adapter. I will try this system with the xcfe desktop, then come back to gnome, try to create a new profile. Further reports later.
Same results for xfce desktop, on this system. Starting with a new profile is not feasible, that profile has no messages or filters.
Tanks. Can you please attach a bigger image? Ideally with the whole dialog box.
attached full screenshot, showing context.

Does it matter which filter do you choose? And did you see it in previous version? What happens if you create a new filter and then edit it? It may be also a bug in X, could you try to increase your screen resolution? If nothing of them help, please try to get stacktrace when thunderbird is unresponsive. How-to is here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Debugging_guidelines_for_Mozilla_products#Attach_debugger_to_running_application and please paste the stacktrace here. Don't forger to install the debuginfo packages (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Debugging_guidelines_for_Mozilla_products#Installing_debug_info_packages) Thanks!
It does not matter which filter I choose. It occurred in previous version. I cannot create a new filter, the same thing happens as when I try to edit. I can agree it might be X, I sometimes see large triangular artifacts, usually on screen refresh after getting new messages. The display is an Intel i915, but I cannot increase resolution. Screen is a 1076x600 touchscreen netbook. Small height is confusing display code ? When I have more time, I will do the serious debugging. I have to teach this afternoon.
The resolution may not affect it - works fine for me in 800x600. Can you test stock mozilla binary from http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird ?
