Details
Upgraded as usual. Here is the transcript from the IRC
channel on Mozilla's server + some logs / screenshots.
(2014-07-24 06:18:26) AndrzejL: guys and girls (2014-07-24 06:18:41) AndrzejL: thunderbird 32 bit on arch linux - looks weird... (2014-07-24 06:19:06) AndrzejL: I have tried upgrading to the 34.x still the same (2014-07-24 06:19:30) AndrzejL: Let me screenshot it (2014-07-24 06:19:58) AndrzejL: it looks ok in the main window but the cc bcc part of sending message looks fugly (2014-07-24 06:30:37) AndrzejL: https://andrzejl.eu:30303/Microbin/K733k (2014-07-24 06:30:37) AndrzejL: thunderbird-24.6.0-1 http://s6.postimg.org/sowjrx18v/Andrzej_L_Arch_Linux_Screenshot_322.png (2014-07-24 06:30:37) AndrzejL: thunderbird-31.0-1 http://s6.postimg.org/8ixn6ruz3/Andrzej_L_Arch_Linux_Screenshot_323.png (2014-07-24 06:30:55) AndrzejL: ok so this what it used to look like and what it looks like now... (2014-07-24 06:33:03) AndrzejL: running it from the terminal (process:2597): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_slice_set_config: assertion 'sys_page_size == 0' failed (2014-07-24 06:33:03) AndrzejL: <> (2014-07-24 06:33:12) AndrzejL: thats the only message I get (2014-07-24 06:33:32) AndrzejL: and trying with fresh profile makes no difference (2014-07-24 06:34:01) AndrzejL: tried 3 different gtk themes - none of them fixes it (2014-07-24 06:34:52) AndrzejL: reboot - same story (2014-07-24 06:37:40) AndrzejL: behaviour persists with everything above 24.6... Basically it looks ugly and sometimes it will fail to connect to the server and asks to give it password / retry... Cheers. Andrzej |

Anyway thanks for responding.

I use also thunderbird and I don't see problems ( it's the same interface, same features, no regression ), you may have a corrupted thunderbird profile, the solution is to create a new thunderbird profile
You know what I know. I could not be more precise as I was unable to collect more data. I was not going to type the same information yet again or waste time editing it so copy / paste from irc (lots of info there) should be sufficient. Please don't sweat the small stuff.
UPDATE 1:
Fixing the ui so it looks slightly better add this bit to the userChrome.css in the chrome folder inside Your Thunderbird profile.
@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul");
/** fix gray address bar in composer **/
.textbox-addressingWidget, #msgSubject {
background-color: #FFFFFF!important; /* -moz-field */
border-color: #A9B7C9 !important;
}
Result:

Update 2:
I am starting to suspect that the whole connection to pop3 / smtp issue is not related to Thunderbird. It happened last night right after the upgrade and then again this morning but it was fine ever since. I am starting to think its gmx.com that was misbehaving and it just happened right after the Thunderbird's upgrade. Just a weird coincidence... So far I have no proof to support any other theory.
Kind regards.
