Address Fields Greyed Out and No Right Click Paste for URLs

Since the update to Thunderbird 31 when I compose messages the address fields for recipients and message subjects etc are useable but all greyed out until you select a recipient etc Is there any way to fix this as it's a bit of an annoyance?

Also, when I try in insert URL links into emails using right click and paste it refuses to do so?

The grey is the new Theme. Therefore another theme will fix it.

Tools menu (alt+T) > add-ons and select get add-ons and then scroll the page to the bottom. On the right is see all complete themes.

The second part is something I have not heard of before. Have you tried restarting from the help menu with add-ons disabled. Might be the cause.

OK, thanks. I'll check out some other themes (although it's shame it can't just be tweaked to remove the grey, it's a bizarre design choice).

Tried restarting with Add-On's disabled for the other issue but no luck I'm afraid. Sometimes it just won't do it and others it won't do it and presents a code in the grey pop-up like: #OLK_SRC_BODY_SECTION
