Other questions
Does the issue still occur after restarting your computer?
yes

yes
Does the issue still occur after you run the COM Registration Fixing Tool in NVDA's tools menu?
It seems that there is something in my thunderbird profile which causes this issue. I tried with new profile, and issue did not occur.
which NVDA version is this occurring in? this was missed in the template. Do you know if this is a regression in 2024.1 or 2024.2?
I tested this in Thunderbird 115.7.0 (64-bit) and Windows 11 Version 23H2, and no error occured. The message was written in plain text.
@burmancomp could you test with Thunderbird last beta version? https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/124.0beta/releasenotes/ I thought it was solved in Beta 117 but not sure if all of those changes were merged into the 115 stable release.
@burmancomp could you test with Thunderbird last beta version?
I read release notes from 116 to 124. On the basis of release notes I am unsure if this was fixed (I could not find any reference to this problem unless I have missed something). @Jykke67 and @irrah68 have w11, and they have not this problem with thunderbird 115. I have w10. It would be interesting if somebody using w10 would test this.
@burmancomp - can you investigate which config items that cause this? you can do this by comparing the profiles.
When uploading logs, please provide the full log file. When logging at debug level, it includes the config being loaded, which means we can debug what config is causing this.

This should happen with Windows 10 and when using plain text when composing message (see steps to reproduce (comment).
I am unsure what I should do.
@burmancomp - please upload a full log file with debug logging enabled as requested earlier
Here is log file:
There is also (I guess separate) issue with speech - I copy some lines from attached file to point it out. But I feel that it is not of thunderbird write window merely (I am writing this comment with firefox 125.0.3 and I just noticed similar situation).

After writing previous comment I tried to increase caret movement timeout to solve "Caret didn't move before timeout." problem. With very quick testing increasing timeout to 300 ms did not solve issue completely.
