Clicking the "cloud icon" ("get all new messages") does not get all accounts

When clicking the "cloud icon" ("get all new messages") I would expect it to check all accounts. But it only check the account that is currently displayed (not the others). Is this a known bug? Is there a setting for this?

If you right-click on the cloud icon, you can select "Get all new messages" – this will retrieve new messages from all accounts that you are logged into (See also https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/addon/get-all-mail-button-for-tb78)

Yes that works. But shouldn't that be the deafult action when you click the icon?
