this is not differing between the Debian releases(, unfortunately).
Debian hasn't touched any code here.

No, it's not critical but grave.

First we/you need to check please if this behavior is also existing in
the upstream binaries. To check this you can simply download the
pre-compiled binary and start the thunderbird binary from that archive.

amd64
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/thunderbird/releases/60.3.0/linux-x86_64/

i386
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/thunderbird/releases/60.3.0/linux-i686/

If the issue is also existing here then this needs to be reported to the
Mozilla bugtracker and this report needs to be tagged to follow that report.
