Enigmail bugs could be reported here:
https://sourceforge.net/p/enigmail/bugs/

*However* this is not a bug in Enigmail. Pinentry is a component of
GnuPG or gpg4win. Enigmail does not open pinentry, nor can it control
its focus. In other words, Enigmail does not ask you for your passphrase
- that's fully controlled by GnuPG.
