Thunderbird write e-mail window never released in wayland

[Chris Hall]

If I run Thunderbird (latest version), when I write an e-mail or reply to an e-mail, a new window opens. When I send the e-mail, it works correctly and the e-mail is sent, but the red dot on the Thunderbird icon on the task bar never goes out. If I close or pkill Thunderbird, only the main Thunderbird window is released by the display manager and it is not possible to open Thunderbird again without logging out or restarting gdm3. This is with Wayland. There is no Thunderbird process left to kill.

Everything works fine with Xorg, so on this computer running 21.10, I will be using Xorg instead of Wayland for now.
