Chosen solution

Try this just in case an old bug has resurfaced

In Thunderbird

  • Help > Troubleshooting Information
  • click on 'Open folder' button.
  • Exit Thunderbird - this is important.
  • delete 'permissions.sqlite' - read comment 10 in bug report.
  • Open 'prefs.js' file using eg: Notepad or similar text editor program. Note: you could create a copy of 'prefs.js' on desktop as a temp backup in case you make a mistake.
  • look for preference: mail.ui-rdf.version
  • Set the value to 17, so it looks like the line below - Note in Bug report they set Value to 14 and it successfully then upgraded to 17, but it also mentions you can set to 17 and test results .
  • user_pref("mail.ui-rdf.version", 17);
  • Save the 'prefs.js' file.
  • Start Thunderbird.


Reset preference: Windows OS:

  • Menu icon > Options > Composition > 'General' tab

MAC OS:

  • Thunderbird > Preferences > Composition > 'General' tab

Linux OS :

  • Edit > Preferences > Composition > 'General' tab

Then...

  • uncheck "Use Paragraph format instead of Body Text by default".
  • click on OK

Does it still happen in safe mode? Hold Shift when you launch TB.

I don't see that here with 68.4.1/W10, but you may have something wrong in your profile. Do you use a tool like CCleaner, which can affect TB settings?

This didn't fix the problem. I don't use CCleaner on this PC.

Is there a way to reset my profile? Or do I have to install everything again?
