Installed F38 about a week ago from scratch (wayland & GNOME). When I launch Thunderbird the first time at every session it starts as a black screen except for the title bar and then... I believe nothing happens but since I cannot see anything I close it. When I relaunch it everything works normally. Not really a life threatening situation but I was wondering if it was possible to fix this. Any idea?

On F37, I can use either one, but I prefer to use the Wayland option so less things are using XWayland.  They both should work on F38 as well. You could file a bug in bugzilla if there isn't already one.
