I have a MAC OS10.8.5. and Tbird 36.1. I have been searchING for strategies to increase the font size on Tbird. I added the "theme font size and changer". THIS improved my situation a bit.

I upgraded my MAC from 10.6.8 to 10.8.5. A few weeks later I noticed that I can not see all the contents in the drop down windows.

I disabled the "theme font size and changer". I deleted the localstore.rdf. No results either time.

Attached is one of the windows. When I am typing in the "To" field, the auto-fill only lets me see barely 1 email. When I go into preferences on Tbird, the windows for preferences are cut off.

How can I restore the windows so I can see everything?

Please check your graphic driver is up to date.

If it still fails to work after updating drivers: Then test in Thunderbird safe mode. Help > Restart with addons disabled

If this fixes the issue then it is possible that one of your addon extensions is causing the problem. You would need to restart in Normal mode and then disable addon extensions until you locate the one causing an issue - maybe it needs updating.
