I use TB 52.9.1 on a MacBook Pro and recently up graded to OS 10.13.6. (High Sierra)

Since the upgrade I have noticed a difference in TB

An issue I reported earlier was that the spell check pane covered over the message. Now the spell check is at the bottom... (image 1)... the message is visible

But, now other message screens are behind the current message and not accessible ie insert image (image 2) ie. save message (image 3)

Is this an MAC OS issue or a Thunderbird issue?

Do you have 'Focus-follows-mouse'- I believe it is called 'Afloat' enabled ?

Afloat. It has a menu bar option in all OS X applications under Window>Focus Follows mouse that is easily accidentally selected.

Suggest you switch it off and see if that resolves the issue.

Thanks Toad-Hall

I can find no such option in any menu bar of any app ie. Thunderbird.... or in the system preferences.

I have found a work around by making the message pane smaller... but that isn't best and I hate "work arounds" when an app should work best.

Thanks There was an extension called SmoothWheel (AMO). Disabling it made no difference.

It appears that the dialogue panes are now anchored to the bottom of the message pane.... when I shrink the message pane, the dialogue pane moves up and can be seen. When I enlarge the message pane the dialogue pane moves down to the bottom of the screen and disappears from view. I can't then see or click on the activity buttons.

As I mentioned, the dialogue panes used to be anchored at the top of the message pane and would cover over the text in message. This was not an issue except for the spell check... you need to see the text to decide about the spelling error.

SO either: going from OS 10.12 to OS 10.13 changed the way the OS responds to the TB code to anchor the dialogue panes or TB changed its code about anchoring the dialogue pane to prevent the spell checker from covering the message..... ????

How can I find out which?
