User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; CrOS x86_64 14541.0.0) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/133.0.0.0 Safari/537.36
Steps to reproduce:
Help, "About Thunderbird"
Actual results:
The "notification window" appears as a small header with only the "X" (and resize if available) visible. This is new ( < 9 months) so probably due to a Crostini update.
It prevents the creation of new mail accounts because gmail authentication requires a notification window. My workaround is using Thunderbird in Termux-gui with bVNC (Android apps) but it is slower.
"GdkWindow doesn't have an associated wl_surface" appears in the console with this fault.

The actual sub-window of "About" or for "Google Authentication"
I tried to attach this before - hope it works now!

Sorry, not on the Chromebook, screenshot not in backup cloud. Will add when possible, but it only shows the remaining sub-window header, a grey rectangle with resizing and exit buttons.
"GdkWindow doesn't have an associated wl_surface" is the important bit!

I have seen that error reported in Chromebook forums, relating to other apps' notification windows. I think those apps have been fixed - please fix Thunderbird.

I have tried:
GTK_IM_MODULE="gtk-im-context-simple" thunderbird
as suggested by Martin Stránský in bug 1954274 (firefox)
Produces new console error:
[GFX1-]: RenderCompositorSWGL failed mapping default framebuffer, no dt
and shows sub-window header only
HOWEVER, the header IS expandable and I have been able to authenticate another account, at last.
Still a graphics bug, though.
