Thunderbird 7.0 issues
Not so minor
- Dragging attachments to Desktop creates "undefined" files in Thunderbird 7.0 on Mac OS X - works fine on Windows - [GS ] - [bug 683093] - WORKAROUND - save attachment via buttons/menu options
- usability problem: folder and address book panes may seem "gone" after accidentally collapsing them - [bug 609245] - this has been a bug since TB5 just forgot to put it in the TB5 and 6 support issues pages, a patch is available but it was yanked out due to Orange i.e. test failures, hope to get this fixed in TB8 or 9; geeky workaround that requires editing of localstore.rdf
Minor issues or issue fixed in TB 8 or future release
See Thunderbird 8 User Changes Page
(not in order, numbered only for convenience; minor = no dataloss or non dataloss mac and linux problems since only 5% or less of TB users are mac or linux)
Insert | Insert Characters and Symbols... doesn't work on Mac or Windows TB7, workaround hack the abctajpu add-on's max Version so it works in TB7 - [GS] - [bug 690267]- REGRESSION, fixed in TB8 and possibly TB7.0.1
Add-on Issues
Add-on meta issue
If a user updates Firefox or Thunderbird while there is an add-on update waiting

lookOut add-on not yet compatible with TB7 - [GS]- it's compatible now supposedly!
