fresh install of thunderbird 0.7, worked fine for about 30 minutes/10 e-mails
sent & recieved. sudden erratic display of compose window (every circumstance),
still occurring after a complete uninstall and reinstall of the program. because
of this, thunderbird now cannot be used at all on this pc anymore.

no specific circumstances under which problem first occurred, but possibly
opening of e-mail message with large number of hyperlinks (200+), however this
is not certain (cannot reproduce since TB cannot be used anymore ;-).

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. read e-mail (possibly one with large number of hyperlinks)
2. open compose window
3. 

Actual Results:  
message edit buttons have erratically been 'merged' with menu bar.
