thunderbird

I'm using Thunderbird 12.0.1 with the following add-ons for the calendar :

Lightning 1.4
Provider for Google calendar 0.9

I'm working with Ubuntu 12.04

My problem is when I receive an event invitation from outlook or gmail, the mail is correctly identified by Thunderbird (I have the message "this message contains an invitation to an event"). In the pretty little box in the mail (the one which contains all the details), there is no "Accpet" or "Decline" button...

I found on the Lightning forum that this bug was fixed in Lightning V.1.0b2

So my question is : why do I still have this bug ???

Best regards
