Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: thunderbird

Today I updated lucid 3.0.4 TB to 3.1.7 from security.  I never liked
the new "smart" search feature but relied mostly on filtering on To, CC
and recipient.  I had put the search field for that on the menu bar so
no further screen real estate was used on my netbook.  3.1.7 now
introduces a UI regression in that that search field is used solely for
the dumb "smart" search that opens a tab to waste even more screen
space.  To use the search that I care about I have to use the quick
search bar, more lost screen space.  And when I actually use it it opens
another bar to filter and by then I can't even see my messages any
longer.

Seriously, netbooks are here to stay.  What were the UI devs thinking
looking at their 28" TFT display all day?
