Build Identifier: Mozilla Thunderbird 0.5 (20040207)

When composing email, the dropdown list for multiple email accounts will not
expand to show the available email accounts.  The email can only be sent from
the account in the box.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create more than one email account.
2. Open compose window.
3. Click on the arrow to dropdown the From field.

Actual Results:  
Nothing happens.  No dropdown list appears.

Expected Results:  
Dropdown list should appear showing all the email accounts.  The email account
that is sending the email can be selected from the list.

Workaround: open the compose window from the context menu for the account you
want to send email from.  Then that account will be filled in the From field.

I'm no longer seeing this.  Maybe a themes issue?
