Same for me. This bug is not fixed for me in TB 17.0.2. What I see however is not bug 702038 but bug 693575 (which was declared to be a duplicate of this bug, which is why I'm reporting here).

The problem has just been patched upstream in trunk and will make it into Thunderbird 12 when that releases (in May, presumably too late for Precise). I filed this bug report to make sure that the change gets noticed and backported to Oneiric post-haste, as it's a pretty major usability failing and there was no bug on LP that was tracking this upstream bug that I could find.
