Thundebird keeping focus for a few seconds after closing window on macOS 26

Since I upgraded to macOS 26 I noticed an annoying issue. When closing Thunderbird window and going back to another application the focus is being kept by Thunderbird for a few second making it impossible to click on the other app.

Steps to reproduce:

  • open Thunderbird
  • close Thunderbird window (using Cmd+Q or clicking the red button on the top left corner)
  • click on any element of the Desktop

Expected:

  • the element is selected

Result:

  • nothing happen

After a few seconds (from 1 to 3), the macOS menu change from Thunderbird to Finder and then everything works properly.

Any help would be much appreciated.
