Click on Address Book (any showing in left pane); want to scroll down the list just for the fun of it; as soon as I begin moving the "down slider" on the right of the screen, Thunderbird decides it needs to open the first address card listed for me to Edit.

Says who?

Someone somewhere in the Thunderbird universe who decided that feature would be So Cool?!

No. It's not.

I suppose if I wanted to edit a particular entry I could do something as basic as double-click on it to open it . . . do my schtick . . . close it, and go on with my life.

Is that my problem or the program's?

I does not do that for me using windows 10. Have you tried troubleshooting mode on the help menu?

Hello

I can see the same problem with Thunderbird 102.2 on Kubuntu 22.04 (X window, not Wayland). In my opinion it's a focus bug, not intended by the developer(s) as seen by Matt's post who can't reproduce under Windows (focus problems can often be specific to an operating system).
