When using the "drag and drop" method of saving attachments to my desktop, I end up with multiple copies of the same attachments.

For example if an email has "Attachment A", "Attachment B", "Attachment C", I end up with "Attachment A-1", "Attachment A-2", "Attachment A-3", "Attachment B-1", "Attachment B-2", "Attachment B-3", "Attachment C-1", "Attachment C-2", "Attachment C-3".

Started happening with the 60.4 update. Does not happen if I drag one attachment at a time, or if I use the "Save All" button.

Using Thunderbird 60.4.0, on Mac OS Sierra 10.12.6

This exact thing started happening to me too about a month ago. For example, dragging and dropping 6 files creates 36 files! Extremely annoying!! Using Thunderbird 60.5.0 on Mac OS Sierra 10.13.6.

Hi all, same problem on Thunderbird 60.5.1, also on 60.4. Before 60.5.1 I've installed High Sierra, this morning I tried to update to Mojave and 60.5.1 but problem persist. Please solve this problem, is very annoying!. Thanks
