Steps to reproduce:
My own original report to the Debian bug tracker:
{
I opened an email from linux-api@vger.kernel.org mailing list,
and when I clicked on '1 more' to see the full list of CCs,
the subwindow containing the email header (From, Subject, To, Cc, Date)
and the subwindow containing the message itself, both started resizing in a loop, tilting.
The email was unreadable. I was using thunderbird 78.5.1.
I upgraded to 84.0b3 from experimental to see if the bug was fixed, and no luck.
However, when I opened the about page (Alt > Help > About Thunderbird)
to check the exact version that was running,
the bug disappeared and I can't trigger it again.
Before opening that, closing and opening thunderbird didn't solve the issue.
It only happened to me with that email.
}
Today, I reproduced it again on a new system, with a different email.
I'm using now version 91.4.0 on Debian unstable / XFCE.
I coudl reproduce it also on a different laptop (with the same Debian, XFCE, and Thunderbird).
It is only reproducible for few emails.
Actual results:
The reply, reply all, forward, ... buttons and the message time (21:28) move left and right (about 4 mm) fast in a loop.
The CC list expands and unexpands at the same frequency (maybe 20 or 30 Hz, or that's what I can observe at least), and the message box (email content) moves down and up according to the expansion of the CC list.
Expected results:
Expand just once.

I don't know. I've only experienced this issue once every several months. So far, I haven't seen it again, but who knows. I don't remember which emails could reproduce it (I should have written that in the report so that I could check in the future...).
