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.
This must be a Linux issue, as I don't see the same thing on W10, with either the default theme or any other. The dragged selection of multiple messages collapses into a blurred, single mass, so that the target folder is easily seen.
I don't know if the fault lies with the Linux version of TB or Linux itself, but if you want to report it, the appropriate place is Bugzilla.
OK, will do.
Same problem here with Ubuntu 16.04 and Mate. Does not happen with Unity.
