"Compact folders" window repeating at every launch

Hi,

After some archiving on my mailbox folders, Thunderbird started to ask me to compact folders at every launch of the product, with the same space gain estimate (918MB). I did not check the box to accept the compacting of folders done automatically without asking, because in this situation I consider compacting works badly. I attached a screenshot of the popup window I see.

I also discovered that the very same "compact folders" popup window appears everytime I delete mails in some folders.

Meanwhile, I can see no error message in Thunderbird that could indicate something turned bad during compacting.

So I am currently lost in a "compact folders" loop!

Thanks in advance for the help.

Just say no until the next release comes down the line (no more than a month away). Compacting is just plain broken in v102 and a patch is coming.

Sorry I didn't mention earlier, but the version I use is 91.13.0 (64 bits) from mozillateam ppa on Ubuntu Jammy. Is it as broken as v102?
