Not sure if anyone else has seen this, but in Lightning 0.7, if you are in mail mode, and have the today pane open,if you click on the drop down arrow to show the whole month block, then click to select a new month from the drop down, then click on a date in that new month, then it locks and you cant get rid of the selected month window without closing Thunderbird.
