Having more than 33 lines in the "Away"-notification bar on the buddy list locks the application.

No mouse actions are possible any longer: the cursor is e.g. stuck with ew-resize cursor when this state is reached while resizing the window horizontally; not possible to click anything, mouse window excludes (=not reachable) the task bar).

Switching tasks forth and back to IB fixes the situation: it resets the notification window to the previous state (My guess: this might not work if it's entered directly from the "Set away message" dialog as there's no previous 'clean state'?)

This is no longer applicable in currently nightlies that no longer use a notification bar to display the status (since: https://hg.instantbird.org/instantbird/rev/60aaea9c09e8).
