text no longer wraps in Thunderbird compose

Since upgrading to Thunderbird 45.1.0, when I am in a compose window the text no longer wraps.

In the config editor I have the following settings:

mail.compose.wrap_to_window_width true mail.wrap_long_lines true plain_text.wrap_long_lines true view_source.wrap_long_lines true

Still, when enter text in a composition window, it never wraps. The scroll bar on the bottom of the window just keeps getting shorter.

Thanks, Coop

Chosen solution

Restart Thunderbird with add-ons disabled (Thunderbird Safe Mode). On the Help menu, click on "Restart with Add-ons Disabled". If Thunderbird works like normal, there is an Add-on or Theme interfering with normal operations. You will need to re-enable add-ons one at a time until you locate the offender.
