Font/Emoji issue with Thunderbird following update

[Psychobudgie]

Since updating to the current Beta the following glitch has manifested in Thunderbird. It would seem that any email with an emoji attached is rendering with incorrect dimensions. I have tried reinstalling Thunderbird, nvidia drivers and reinstalling/regenerating fonts to no avail. Hopefully a simple fix but it escapes me. This only seems to affect Thunderbird and didn't occur with the same version running in 17.10 or on other OS.

I believe this issue is fixed in the Thunderbird Beta. Thunderbird 60 should be released soon (maybe June?).

Thanks, that fixes the issue.

Assuming the problem to be over-sized emojis in the Subject and From lines, this issue remains (as of this post on 5/8/2018) in Bionic 18.04 and Thunderbird 52.7.0, and can be worked around by uninstalling package fonts-noto-color-emoji (Version 0~20180424-0ubuntu1) and installing package fonts-symbola.
