Thunderbird 140.4.0esr (64-bit) - LINUX - no numbers shown when typing on new email...

Hello This is rather weird... to me at least!

I recently noticed while I was replying an email, that when I type numbers they are not visible.

If I send email - sent it to myself, I can see numbers are there!

Only happens on new emails!

I already tried downgrading up to the point I could not downgrade more as - it obviously and annoyingly cannot load emails on a not very old version.

Never mind that - I much preferred version 1115-125 really.

Can anyone help.

I am going insane.

On any other computer with various version all works.

Thank you M

I am on Linux Mint 22.1 Xia - Cinnamon - all updated - for a second I thought maybe Kernel problem, but only on new messages? Na Just updated kernel - no change - obviously.

Thunderbird is the Flatpak version - I prefer it contained in Flatpak

What is weirder, I have not done anything to it or the whole Linux system!

I even was away for almost 2 weeks, I barely use it at present as browsing and emails. Sometime testing hardware.

Thanks

Note: I am no Linux guru - please be simple - thanks

I have taken Flatpak version off and used the System one (the +Zara) and imported data.

Same

I also noticed - although email works fine, it does not connect its Browser?

IS there a About:config setup to chose which browser.

I am just guessing it wants to use Chrome that does not exist in any of my computers?

Thanks M

I switched to Betterbird and works fine.

The only problem I have is that I cannot drag and drop emails from a folder to an inbox and vice-versa.

I used to do it...
