thunderbird 68.2.2 wrapped text in message compose window
User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:68.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/68.0
Steps to reproduce:
After upgrading to release 68.2.2 (on Debian 9 x64 update stream), composing (or replying to) a mail in plain text format, the included signature and the text entered are (forcibly) wrapped around at 50 characters.
Actual results:
In a message in plain text format (addressed to a plain text only domain), the included signature and the text typed are wrapped around at 50 characters.
As can be seen in the screenshot attached, the wrap happens on spaces and does not appear to happen on a line longer than 50 characters with no space.
The messages are composed in plain text only, using UTF-8 as encoding.
It does not (or no longer) appears to be possible to specify the width limit for text.
This appears to be only a display issue (while composing the mail), from what I can see the text in the mail sent is not actually wrapped around.
Received message is displayed correctly with no 50 characters wrap around.
Expected results:
Text should not be wrapped around at 50 characters, especially the signature.
It worked "as expected" (text wrapped around at ~80 characters, signature properly displayed) just before the update (from 60.9.0 to 68.2.2).
This makes it very difficult to write a properly formatted plain text message (which is one of the points of using plain text messages).

What is your mailnews.wraplength set to? Still at default 72?
You could install the add-on ThunderHTMLedit and check what's going on, even in a plaintext message.
That's said, you're likely victim of a scaling issue, see bug 1594444.
