I was reading email, archiving some and deleting others. After deleting a message, it started deleting all messages in the folder as if I were pressing "Supr" continuously. To stop that, I clicked on a folder. It showed the display "Are you sure you want to delete folder xxxx?" After clicking no, I went back to where I was reading and it continued deleting. So I closed Thunderbird. Opened a terminal window to test if keyboard was stuck but but there was no sign of a key being struck.
After reopening Thunderbird, there is no trace of the deleted messages. Those I manually deleted are in the Trash folder but those deleted without control are not. This makes me think it is not a problem with my keyboard or OS but something related with a bug at Thunderbird. Does this seem right or am I missing something?
I am using Thunderbird 91.9.1 (64-bit) on a clean new Ubuntu 22.04 install. All updates are applied up to date. I have not found any bug related to this and I do not know what to do. I am very wary about continuing to use Thunderbird.
