I noticed that this would happen when an email was coming in, and
the little fade-in box would appear on the bottom of my screen. You
just have to wait until the box goes away.

I have the same problem, but in my case I don't have alltray
installed. The problem came out after playing around a lot with
compiz settings.

Thanks so much for the hint! I really missed dragging &
dropping messages into folders but never realized AllTray was the
cause. I will miss the system tray icon though :-(.

I tried disabling all extensions and now drag & drop works
again! Thank you dense13!

@Max, I take it that it's not AllTray in your case? Could it be a similar case but with another application? You could try disabling any extensions you have in Thunberbird, see if that makes any difference.
