I just updated Thunderbird to 38.1 on my Windows 7 laptop. Now the cursor position is incorrect. When I move the mouse cursor around, I have to place it about 3 lines below the button I want to click to be able to click. It is highly annoying. I don't see the error described anywhere on the Internet.

In this case, it could be an addon, or it could be hardware acceleration at tools | options | advanced | general

Please tell us when you know the precise cause. Thanks

Yes, that solved the problem! So I guess one of my add-ons is causing the problem...

It was the hardware accelaration!
