Steps to reproduce:
Open monthly calendar. Right click on any of the days of the month. Select "New Event". The same thing happens if you double-click an event or a context menu option for an event.
Actual results:
Pointer cursor changes to wait cursor and does not change back.
Expected results:
Either the wait cursor should not be displayed or it should only be displayed as long as the calendar functionality is waiting for a slowly executing operation to be completed.

Ron, we had no other reports which match the description of your issue. Do you still experience the problem with a later Thunderbird 78 release or even Thunderbird 91?

Martin, I am currently running Thunderbird 78.13.0 (64-bit). The symptoms I described above have changed somewhat, but the bug is not completely gone. In particular, if you follow my original instructions"
<<Open monthly calendar. Right click on any of the days of the month. Select "New Event".>>
everything works as expected. But if you use my second procedure and either double-click an event or open a context menu on an event, the cursor changes to the wait circle as long as and whenever the cursor is over an exposed part of the monthly calendar (i.e. not over an event dialog). In addition, I frequently open two event dialogs at once by following this procedure. On trying to close the one or two dialog boxes that appear,
I am sometimes greeted by a confirmation dialog concerning whether I want to save my changes to the event.
On the other hand, the original procedure, right clicking on a blank space in the calendar and selecting "New Event" will clear the wait circle cursor left by the other procedure. It looks as if you are about half way there.
Good luck
I'm glad to help. Let me know if there's anything else I can do to help you out.
