You have the same issue in -safe-mode (see http://support.mozillamessaging.com/en-US/kb/Safe-Mode)?

this may be specific to windows, but it's definitely an issue, and doesn't have to do with extensions or non-default themes. It's possibly a dup as well.

I have just tried in safe mode. It is not quite so bad but still - it is not pretty. Yes, maybe it is a Windows thing.

The problem is worst in the Thunderbird beta 5.0b1.
The folder (name) does not become invisible in 
Thunderbird 3.1.10.

Confirmed, only happens on Windows Vista / 7, doesn't happen on XP.

Andreas/Richard, could you take a look at this as I think it is a blocker to release, as it doesn't look good to the user.

Attachment: A patch to make the folder more visible.

For this patch, I've only made the folder name stay in black for a couple of reasons.

1) It's a small change so that we might be able to take it in the next 5.0 beta.

2) The cursor changes when you're not over a dropable element, so highlighting the element you're dropping it on isn't critical.

3) You should be able to see the things you're dragging, because they will still be selected in the thread pane.

If we decide we want more after this, we can open a new bug, or attach a better patch later.

Thanks,
Blake.

Ok, this is at least better, good enough for b2. Let's file a follow-up to improve the highlights more and we can consider if we're good enough for final at the same time.
