Intended functionality works or reproducing bug works?

The intended functionality. I tried clicking and dragging the splitter, then right-clicking and releasing, then releasing the left mouse button, and it works fine afterwards. It also works fine if I release the left mouse button first and then the right mouse button. One thing to note is that in the second case, it appears to be bringing up an empty context menu (it's a little grey square), so you have to click once to dismiss it.

Mike your issue might come from some installed extension can you try in -safe-mode (see http://support.mozillamessaging.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode) ?

Comment 5

[Mike]

Nope, I opened in safe mode and problem persists. Here is a video for clarification: http://mike-wright.com/thunderbird/ThunderBird.html

(after the instructions in the video, it is assumed the user has released both mouse buttons)
