Dear Thunderbird maintainer,
On Debian 8, the recent migration from Thunderbird 45 to Thunderbird 52
has produced a migration from GTK2 to GTK3.
The migration from GTK2 to GTK3 produces two regressions :
1) When composing mail in text mode the Orca screen reader repeats two
times each line
2) When you use the HighContrast theme "twisty" arrows are no longer
visible as reported upstream :
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1376756
I've compiled Thunderbird 52 from Debian with GTK2 instead of GTK3 and
it solves those issues.
Best regards.
