Thunderbird 115.3.1 on Ubuntu : unintuitive behaviour when clicking on a message

Patrick Meyer replied

Hi,

My Ubuntu install upgraded my Thunderbird install to 115.3.1.

Since then, I have a strange behaviour when clicking on messages. Let me explain :

A first click highlights the message in the list of messages (grey blue in my case). The message is then shown in the massage pane.

However, in that state, the message cannot be deleted with the "delete" key. To delete it with the keyboard, it requires to be clicked again, and then it is highlighted in light blue in the messages list pane.

Is this a normal behaviour or did something go wrong with my install. I searched on the internet but I did not find anybody with a similar problem.

Best,

Patrick

After a reboot, the phenomenon has disappeared. Sorry for this false alert.
