User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_5_8; en-us) AppleWebKit/531.22.7 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0.5 Safari/531.22.7

Once I edit filter (add some new address to the list), press OK and edit window closes, I'm unable to select last filter in Message Filters dialog. Since last edited filter is on the bottom of select box, I can not reach last edited filter to move it or apply it. This problem goes away once I close the window and open it again....

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add new e - mail address to existing filter
2. Press OK and close Edit filter dialog
3. Try to select edited filter via mouse or keyboard
Actual Results:  
Unable to select message filter

Expected Results:  
To be able to select message filter

Have you tried safe mode? (see https://support.mozillamessaging.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode for more information)

Anything in tools -> Error console when this happens ?

Nothing in Error Console ... In Safe Mode behaves as I would expect it: I'm capable to select previously edited rule ....

So one of your installed extension or theme is screwing things up. Try disabling one of them at a time until you find the culprit. Notify the extension/theme author so he can fix this.

Resolving as invalid as this works in -safe-mode.

If you can reproduce this and it's not a theme, then it's an add-on. :)
I would be helpful if you can narrow it to a specific add-on and post the name here. If you don't have any add-ons installed, then more investigation is needed.

safe-mode also reverts some settings to their defaults, iirc.

Ok, that's it ... I had Thunerbird message filter export/import and lightning add - ons installed on previous version of TB ... After migration to a new version, no add - ons are removed (i got ons I had before migration). I uninstalled them and problem seems resolved. On the other hand, I have managed to install message filter export/import, but I was not able to find lightning ... I have a pure install of TB on my linux machine (no add-ons at all) and everything seems OK, so lightning is probably guilty one ......

that seems too, too strange, that message filter export wasn't the cause.
can you reproduce if if you reinstall one, or both?
