I cannot explain what causes this.  It has been happening for many months.  I start Thunderbird in the morning before I go to work.  When I get home the space between the Status Bar and the Windows frame has grown to various widths.  Today it was only about 1/2 an inch.  It up to three inches.  I never know when it happens or what causes it.  I have been watching it happen for several months, but have never been able to identify any cause.

I should add that the only way to reset this occurrence is to exit Thunderbird and restart the program.
Dupe of bug 420704? Tried without extensions? I think this is often caused by lightning.
If this is a Lightning issue, can this bug be transferred or does a new bug report have to be opened?
I believe there already is one open on lighting for that...

Richard, can you try running in safe mode? (either run thunderbird.exe -safe-mode or there's an option in the start menu).

If it doesn't happen in safe mode, then it is an issue with one of your extensions.
I have been having this problem as well.  For me, it *always* occurs when I connect to my system via Remote Desktop.  The amount of space is seemingly random, and the more I connect to my system without restarting Thunderbird, the more this space grows.

I will try running in safe mode for a while to see if it fixes anything; if so, the only extension I'm using in Thunderbird is Lightning, so it would probably be the culprit.
Ok, that seems to have fixed the problem, so it does look like a Lightning issue (for me at least).
