The latest Thunderbird 60.2.1 has made dragging emails to another folder really hard

If you try to drag an email to another folder it now drags the whole line. This covers up the target folder making it really hard to reliably drop the email into the right place. This is even worse if you're dragging multiple emails in one hit. Screenshot (blurred for privacy reasons) attached.

Can I either turn this off or report it to the developers as a downgrade?

Chosen solution

As a workaround, there is a preference switch:

nglayout.enable_drag_images to false.

The same issue also affects dragging folders into other folders. Sigh.

Same problem here with Ubuntu 16.04 and Mate. Does not happen with Unity.
