Memory leak on folder repair after manually moving maildir messages from one folder to another

ambraspace

I have some issues with my emails, so I have to manually (by using OS commands) move messages from one folder to another. My Inbox folder has 11000+ messages in Maildir format.

When I move approx. 200 messages from Inbox to Inbox/BAD, and start folder repair of Inbox folder, memory usage of Thunderbird increases several GB and remains that high even after operation finishes. It is always reproducible. I'm using Thunderbird 52.4.0 (64bit) on Linux Gentoo.

I just reread "I have to manually (by using OS commands) move messages from one folder to another"

And I must say, "No, don't do that"
