Hello,

i have the same problem. (image: 1) It's a little strange, because when i change the "Nachrichteninhalt" (image: 2) from original HTML to simple HTML i can see the text of the mails. Also it's strange because not all emails are affected.

I have tried to disable all Addons but that doesn't helped.

If it works in safe mode that means an addon is causing the problem - I seem to recall someone mentioned one of the google related addons causing this.

Or a setting like hardware acceleration (HWA) in tools | options | advanced | general.

Let us know what you find. And if you find it is HWA then please post details of your graphics system from Help | Troubleshooting

Hello,

the graphics card driver was to blame. After updating the problem is fixed for me.

Your statements are somewhat in conflict - It works when i disable Google Provider Plugin. - My problem is definitely the lightning plugin. with lightning deactivated everything works perfectly.

Which addon is the problem? Do you see anything in tools |error console? And does it help to change View | message body from original HTML to simple HTML?

Ok, it definetly is a problem with Lightning. If i deactivate Lighning then thunderbird works fine.

Changing the view from original HTML to simple HTML does not work. In the error console are masses of errors. But i don't know how to export these messages
