Tag selection window should not close immediately after applying a tag

[mdf]

Description:
I frequently use message labeling with tags in Thunderbird. Currently, when I apply a tag to a message, the tag selection window closes immediately. This makes workflows with multiple tag changes less efficient.

Use case:
Suppose I have a message tagged as “To Do”. When the task is completed, I want to:

1. Add the tag “Done”

2. Remove the tag “To Do”

At present, this requires opening the tag selection window twice – once to add “Done” and once again to remove “To Do”.

Suggestion:
Please consider adding an option that allows the tag selection window to remain open after selecting a tag, so multiple tag changes can be made in one step.

Thank you.

Even more useful for other tags that don't have shortcuts.
