Lightning: invite attendee issues

Two issues with managing calender invites in Lightning:

1) adding invites as group from the TB Address book adds the emails twice. This does not happen with all groups, and might be a problem at the side of the address book (in this case hints are welcome). Nevertheless this happens only in Lightning, not when sending emails.

2) management of invitees once added is a mess. They can only be eliminated one by one (no multiple selection of mails) and with right-click + delete, which makes the management impossible for longer duplicated lists.

Hola, Este es el foro de soporte en Español. En realidad te refieres al calendario embebido en el TB y no al complemento Lightning: https://addons.thunderbird.net/es/thunderbird/addon/lightning-calendar-tabs/?src=search 1) Es cierto por algún motivo que tengo que investigar esta duplicando los correos al agregar una lista al evento. 2) Con "a mess" que quieres decir? sino tiene una funcionalidad puedes sugerirla en la siguiente pagina de Mozilla: https://connect.mozilla.org/?utm_source=sumo&utm_medium=web&utm_campaign=support Aclaro y recuerdo que casi todos los productos de Mozilla como este son desarrollados por colaboradores. Saludos

Gracias por la respuesta en su día. El problema no se resolvió con TB antiguo, y ahora con TB 115 han surgido otros problemas adicionales. Los acabo de comentar en GitHub para el plug-in the Lightning de TB tal como me sugeriste.

En todo caso lo reproduzco aqui:

since the update to ThunderBird 115, the Lightning calendar plug-in generates errors as follows: 

   "invite" does not work. I can add emails to an event, but they are not send at least with the option "notify" + "send individual mail"  (other alternatives such as open visible list of destinatories are not feasible due to privacy)

   when opening an "event" from the calendar, it displays in a full-screen format (see screenshot_2) that lists all invited attendees

   The "invite attendees" window works but has a strange pink block on top right (see screenshot_3)

   the page where the format of sending ("notify", "send individual mails") is not accessible any more

Currently the calendar as such works fine. But the "invite" function is critical for the use I am giving as transnational NGO to invite to meetings etc. All worked fine with previous TB versions.

System config: WIN10 prof, all updates installed, fully licensed, AMD Ryzen 9 5900X etc. (mid-end system built in 2022).

Thanks for looking into a solution.
