Creating/editing mailing lists in Thunderbird 91.3.2 - locks up

I'm trying to create a mailing list in Thunderbird 91.3.2. When I get to adding about the 10th or 11th address, it locks-up and I have to force-quit. I'm using macOS Big Sur 11.6. If I go back and try to edit the list, it still locks up and I have to force-quit. I can create a new address list without issue or any limitation to number of contacts. I'm guessing the existing list that keeps locking up when I edit it or try to add another contact, might be corrupt? Any insight?

Are you entering contacts directly in the list edit window or adding them by drag and drop from an address book to the list icon? The lockup might be a variant of this bug, that was supposed to be fixed in 91.3.2.

I'm entering contacts in the edit window by hand. Strangely enough, I decided to delete the mailing list and just re-create with the same contact addresses using the same method and it worked fine, no hiccups. I think the first address list must have just gotten corrupted or something else, but it seems I'm good to go now. Thanks for your help!
