I can't see tag colours anymore on my tagged e-mails

I recently installed Thunderbird 69.0b2 (64-bit) and the tags don't work well anymore, as e-mails don't get their colour highlight. I can see them if i select a message that is tagged but otherwise all (unselected) messages are displayed with black fonts. Obviously, i need the colour highlight back for tagged messaged, including those that are not selected.

You have installed a beta version which may display a few bugs. You mention (64-bit) so I'm assuming this may be a Linux OS. It would be worthwhile reporting this mentioning your OS and TB version. Many thanks for your help in bug detecting. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/index.cgi?

The current release is 60.8.0 Uninstall Thunderbird program. Use the link below to select suitable language and download for your OS. https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/all/

Thanks for the quick reply!

I actually installed it on Windows 10. And apart from the tags everything else looks and works fine.

Any idea if the bug is going to be fixed quickly? I could live with it for a few days to avoid having to uninstall and reinstall TB.

I can see that they have indeed been working on Win64 for Windows. http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/thunderbird/releases/69.0b2/

Info on releases: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Thunderbird:Home scroll to 'Upcoming releases'

The bugzilla bunch would need to know the issue you are experiencing as feedback to ensure it is put on list for fixing. No idea on how long this could take to fix.

I did locate this which mentions 69.03b, so it may be put officially on the release website soon. https://mozilla-services.github.io/buildhub/stage/?platform[0]=win64&channel[0]=beta&products[0]=thunderbird
