Unable to narrow the minimized window view for Thunderbird

Until a few weeks ago I could minimize the Thunderbird window to fill only half my screen left to right. Now, it will only minimize to about 2/3 of my screen. When I drag the edge to a narrower position it goes only so far and stops. I don't know why all of a sudden this change occurred. Is there a way to make the minimized Thunderbird window narrower? I'm using Windows 7 Professional Version and Thunderbird version 24.4.

Is the problem still there in safe mode? Hold Shift (Mac:Option) when you launch TB.

Thanks sfhowes. Yes, I'm able to narrow it further in safe mode. Now do I enable each add-on one at a time to identify the offending add-on?

It might be an add-on, but I think it's more likely a broken layout file, localstore.rdf. You can repair (rebuild) it by starting in safe mode, checking "Reset toolbars & controls" and clicking "Make changes and restart":

sfhowes, I followed your suggestion above but it didn't help. I did disable my only add-on (Lightening 2.6.4 integrated calendar) and restarted Thunderbird and that seems to have solved the problem. I hadn't connected the fact I added Lightening a few weeks ago to the sudden inability to narrow the window problem. Perhaps future versions of Lightening can correct this problem. Thanks for your help.

I don't know if it would make any difference, but you could try Lightning 2.6.3 in case the issue is with 2.6.4 only.

Did not make a difference. I tried back to 2.6.1. I'll live with it and hope for a future fix. Thanks for the help.
