When I try to create a filter there is no "OK" button, so obviously filter can't be created. I tried the command % sudo rm ~Library/Thunderbird/Profiles/vwybotat.default % session.json Got the response zsh: no such user or named directory: Library

As long as it's running in safe mode the filter creator is working properly, but when I start TB normally the "OK" button disappears again. Well, it better than nothing. Thanks for your help

Launch in safe mode, check 'Reset toolbars & controls', 'Make changes & restart'. Does it now look right?

have you tried just dragging the bottom of the dialog down to expose the OK button? I am guessing you accidentally dragged it up to hide it.

I can drag the window taller but the "OK" button does not show up. Good try, thanks

Test for a broken layout (toolbars or controls) by running in safe mode (hold Option when launching TB).

did you perhaps in the past modify a preference to scale the user interface?

That did the trick! The "OK" button is there. Thank you very much
