Thunderbird 102.12.0 (64-bit) MACOS Primary Password feature ignores cancel

Oclair
Making moves

Thunderbird 102.12.0 (64-bit) MACOS Primary Password feature ignores cancel and re-prompts stealing UI focus.

Some questions relating to working as intended

Is there yet a consensus what to do when cancel is selected?

Why are multiple instances of the primary password request sent to the UI if the first one is not yet responded to?

Is giving the impression that this feature is not tested internally really a good idea for establishing the feature is secure and for example there are again no backdoors present bypassing the security feature?

Have a great day, and thank you for contributing to the Open Source software community!

You are welcome. Thank you for contributing.

Is just a known bug which hasn't been gotten to. There is no security exposure.

using 118.0b1, clicking Cancel 3 times makes the dialog go away but the program window opens giving full read and write access!

 

please advise, and thanks
