Attachment: screenshot of bug

Attaching a screenshot of the bug.  Image on left is unselected and scrambled,
image on right is selected and unscrambled.

The subject header for this email is (copied from Message Source):

Subject: [PFOHO] 
	Get ready for Housing!!!! READ ALL THE INFORMATION IN THE EMAIL
	BELOW VERY CAREFULLY

Note the newline after [PFOHO] which is causing all the trouble

A few more details:

If I switch to another window (either on the same or on a different virtual
desktop), the subject goes back to being scrambled (even if it is still
focused).  To unscramble it I have to click on the subject line again.

Sorry for the multiple comments.

Adam Roben, are you still seeing the scrambled text with the bogus message, 
using a current build (e.g. 0.7) of TB?  I have a similar test message, and in 
my TB 0.7 (Win2K) it appears OK.  (It does have the little character for Newline 
displayed.)

Mike-
   This seems to now work for me.  Marking WORKSFORME.  Thanks for checking into
this.

I see this happen with Thunderbird 1.0.7 under Linux.
Any fonts I might be mission or such?
