Hi there,

I have Thunderbird installed on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.

When I search for an old email, I enter a search term into the search bar and hit ENTER.

I can then see various relevant search results.

When I click on certain results the tab that opens up is empty and simply has a divider in between.
