PS:

After reading your question "Is this an Xfce thing or a Thunderbird
thing?" I should have answered "Yes, it is", instead of providing help
;).

Thunderbird isn't a Xfce application and most users are fully aware of
it, you seemingly, too.

So I expect that a subscriber at least has got a request such as...

When using Thunderbird the cursor disappears, if I wait to long when
composing a letter. This happens only when using Thunderbird. I already
followed a hint foo from Thunderbird support, but it didn't solve the
issue...

We all sometimes miss the forest for the trees. We have different
intellectual capacity, but way too often it just smells like idleness.
Perhaps others could do my homework?
