1230629 - No Send button in compose window

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Thunderbird :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[Kevin]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; rv:41.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/41.0
Build ID: 20150917150946

Steps to reproduce:

Thunderbird 38.4 on Windows XP.
Open a new email using either New Message (Ctrl-N) or the "Write" button.


Actual results:

Up comes a new window titled "Write (no subject)", including fields:
From, Reply-To, To, Subject, and a strip of text-formatting icons.
There is no "Send" button, nor any button of any kind.
Ctrl-Enter is the only way to send.
Ctrl-S does save in Drafts, but option to "Send Unsent Messages" is disabled.


Expected results:

There should be a Send button in the Write window.
This is my wife's machine. She was using version 38.2 happily for weeks, then suddenly her Send buttons disappeared. I updated her to 38.4 but same problem.

On Windows, in composition, press ALT key to show the menu bar.
From menu: View > Toolbars > Composition Toolbar (ensure it is checked).
This should show the toolbar again.

If not, pls use "add an attachment" above to share a screenshot (black out private data as required).
