While I do sometimes forget myself and click too wildly, the problem is
annoying enough for me to pay close attention when trying to read my
mails. And there was no sign of Thunderbird running among the active
programmes.
As the problem also arose at the beginning of sessions, it couldn't be a
question of closing and restarting too soon.
At the moment it seems to be working, so I'll wait and see. Tahnks
anyway for your time.
