Checked ok with Thunderbird 60.4.0 in Ubuntu 18.04 ** Bug watch added: Mozilla Bugzilla #700054 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=700054 ** Changed in: thunderbird (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to thunderbird in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/876109 Title: Emoticons not visible in menu in Thunderbird's compose window Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Thunderbird emoticons are visible in the mail, but not in the menus. I think it has no sense that a menu with (emot)icons doesn't show this icons. I used to solve this fact in Natty activating 'buttons_have_icons' or 'menus_have_icons' in gconf-editor, but it doesn't work in Oneiric. I attach an image to explain what I'm trying to say, sorry for my bad English. ----------------------- Los emoticonos de Thunderbird se ven correctamente en los e-mails, pero no en el menú. Creo que es absurdo que un menú con (emot)iconos no muestre esos iconos. En Natty lo resolvía activando 'buttons_have_icons' en el Editor de Configuración, pero en Oreiric no funciona, y tampoco 'menus_have_icons'. Adjunto una imagen.
