unwanted change - undo delete message doesn't bring it back

Thunderbird Other

A recent change in Thunderbird made a very unwelcome new behavior.

When I delete an email it goes to Trash. When I undo that delete, it used to undelete, and restore the email to the folder I'm working in.

I really want that behavior back. I don't want to undelete - go to Trash folder - manually restore to Inbox. Or likewise any operation that moves a message to another folder. If I undo that operation, I want the email back where it was before.

Thank you, sfhowes!

This is POP mail from my own server. No remote folders involved.

I hadn't tried safe mode. Yes, that fixes it. But a bunch of buttons are missing across the top - Reply, Delete, etc.

Maybe I added them as customizations a decade ago or something.

Got it! Thank you so much, sfhowes!

That really was annoying...

I'm not sure what fixed it. I think (90% sure) it was the very first trip through safe mode that unglued the bug.

But I also removed some incompatible add-ons I'd forgotten about years ago. And after the first Safe mode visit, the button mismatch seemed to go away between normal and safe.

Anyway - fixed! :) Thank you!
