TB 78 doesn't read .ics file dropped on calendar pane

TB 78.6.1 ESR from openSuse 15.1 opens a blank event window when I drag and drop an ICS file onto the calendar pane. Dropping an ICS there used to not only open a record but also fill in the fields of date, time, and location. Was there a change in how to import events in the calendar? Did I miss the memo ?  :-) Thanks.

Hello there konsultor. We have read your message. We try to help you.


Hello you guys why do you use the other way? Drag and drop?

Just use the normal open ics-files? It works just fine.

To diagnose problems with Thunderbird, try the following:

Restart Thunderbird with add-ons disabled (Thunderbird Safe Mode). On the Help menu, click on "Restart with Add-ons Disabled". If Thunderbird works like normal, there is an Add-on or Theme interfering with normal operations. You will need to re-enable add-ons one at a time until you locate the offender.

Thanks for the solution. Last time I looked the "drag and drop" method was the only one that worked. There didn't seem to be a way to import ICS files. Happy to see the change. May still need a way to right-click on an ICS file and import from there.
