SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: 5.27.4
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version:
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.105.0
Qt Version: 5.15.3
I think what is going on here might be that because Thunderbird was installed
as part of Rocky 9.2 distro there might be some sort of registration issue.
Perhaps solved by creating a thunderbird.desktop file? Seems a bit odd if that
is the case to rely on that when the program is installed to being within the
menu system?
Is this an error or a unmet requirement?
