User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/102.0.5005.61 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

On Ubuntu/Jammy, using 1:91.9.1+build1-0ubuntu0.22.04.1, I'm dragging mail from the main INBOX to other (sub)folders. This works, for a couple of moves, but then Thunderbird becomes completely unresponsive and the GNOME window-is-not-responding message pops up.

Actual results:

Thunderbird deadlocks and cannot wake up. Only the Force Quit button works. After which I can restart Thunderbird and resume cleaning of my INBOX.

Expected results:

Thunderbird should just keep running so I can keep moving e-mails to different subfolders.

(also attached as lp1977715.txt )

Basically it appears like Wayland has something to do with this.
When starting thunderbird with XDG_SESSION_TYPE=x11 WAYLAND_DISPLAY= it looks like Thunderbird behaves normally and no deadlocks occur.

One of the things that stand out, is that without Wayland enabled, the following messages are not observed on stderr anymore:

Unsupported modifier, resource creation failed.
XXX: resource creation failed

But that may be unrelated.

Does this still reproduce for you when using version 102?

Looks fixed to me. I've been cleaning up some more mail and it hasn't hung once. LGTM :)
