Hi, Do you have a file named .thunderbird/<your_tb_profile>/chrome/userChrome.css? If you have one, try removing it. Best regards, Nico.

Thanks Nicolas - on one profile - I removed the file but it didn't change anything - calendar and tasks still greyed out in view menu - on another machine - unfortunately, there is no /chrome folder in the Profile ?!?

Oddly enough - I can toggle the view -> spaces toolbar - but nothing appears when it's on ?!?
Just tried a freshly installed M9 upgraded to Cauldron - installed fresh Thunderbird rpm and do not get the spaces toolbar - when I turn it off, I get the little icon top left and nothing in that menu seems to work!!! I will try a fresh M9 install and report back . . .
Created attachment 14042 [details] M9 updated to Cauldron - fresh install Thunderbird as well Non of the menu items work
Fresh install M9 with M9 updates - installed Thunderbird rpm (115.2.2-1) from standard repository - It starts fine and looks like it should (with spaces bar on the side) and calendar, tasks and chat all work as expected (under Plasma) Upgraded from M9 backports to 115.3.1-1 and all seems fine - then upgraded to Cauldron and now it breaks!!! So definitely something in latest Cauldron causing this issue!!!
The latest normal M9 version is thunderbird-115.2.2-1.mga9, which works OK. The exact version in question here is unclear: the report is about thunderbird-115.3.1-1.mga10, but you say in the previous comment: "Upgraded from M9 backports to 115.3.1-1 and all seems fine" but is this not the version you are complaining about? "then upgraded to Cauldron and now it breaks" Upgraded from what to what? Cauldron is at 115.3.1, which you apparently already had. This is not at all to avoid the issue that 115.3.1 is broken - at least in Cauldron. But if it is also in M9 Backports, you indicate that *that* version works.
Summary: Thunderbird 115 broken and doesn't show Supernova interface => Thunderbird 115.3.1-1 in Cauldron is broken and doesn't show Supernova interfaceCC: (none) => lewyssmith
Maybe to clarify - 1) I installed a fresh M9 and installed the standard Thunderbird RPM for M9 (115.2.2-1) - all works as expected 2) I then enabled backports / updates and installed the 115.3.1-1 (mga9) - all still worked as expected 3) I then deleted all entries in edit-urpmi-sources.pl and re-pointed the whole thing to Cauldron and performed a complete update using a cauldron mirror - which installed the thunderbird-115.3.1-1.mga10.x86_64.rpm version - then the interface broke as described. It may have something to do with GTK or Gnome stuff - or any other supporting library to the Thunderbird package - not sure. . . .
Hi, Can you try to replace thunderbird-115.3.1-1.mga10 by thunderbird-115.3.1-1.mga9 in your Cauldron installation and see if the problem is there? Best regards, Nico.
HOLY crap! That worked!! [rfox@FoxLT5 Downloads]$ sudo rpm -Uvh --force thunderbird-115.3.1-1.mga9.x86_64.rpm Verifying... ################################# [100%] Preparing... ################################# [100%] Updating / installing... 1:thunderbird-0:115.3.1-1.mga9 ################################# [ 50%] Cleaning up / removing... 2:thunderbird-0:115.3.1-1.mga10 ################################# [100%] [rfox@FoxLT5 Downloads]$ rpm -qa | grep thunderbird thunderbird-compose-1.1-1.mga9 thunderbird-servicemenu-2-4.mga9 thunderbird-en_US-115.3.1-1.mga10 thunderbird-115.3.1-1.mga9 So something in the mga10 version is screwing things up ?!?
The only difference, as far as I know, is that thunderbird-115.3.1-1.mga10 was built with ICU from the system whereas thunderbird-115.3.1-1.mga9 was built with the bundled one. Thunderbird 115.3.2 is available upstream. I will try to build it to see if that solves the issue. If that does not fix the problem, I will try to build it with the bundled ICU.
FYI - Just tried 115.3.2-1.mga10 which unfortunately breaks the GUI again - have gone back to thunderbird-115.3.1-1.mga9.x86_64.rpm and all is well (on a completely updated Cauldron machine)
Hi, Can you try thunderbird-115.3.2-2.mga10, please? It is built with the bundled ICU. Best regards, Nico.
Thanks Nico - haven't found it yet - not sure what mirror and folder thunderbird-115.3.2-2.mga10 should be . . . Will test as soon as I find it! BTW, excuse my stupidity, but what is the "ICU" ?
Just found and downloaded 115.3.2-2.mga10 Looks like that fixed it!!! Not sure if other have been affected - still would be nice to know why?
Thanks first to Nicolas for his work; and Robert for your patience and trying things out. Can this be closed fixed?

(In reply to Nicolas Salguero from comment #19) > Can you try thunderbird-115.3.2-2.mga10, please? It is built with the > bundled ICU. This is what finally worked. So it is clear that Thunderbird, currently at least, needs to be built with its bundled ICU, not the system one. M10 as for M9.
