How do I fix the drag and drop option with wacom-tablet? It has stopped working.

Since I updated from Ubuntu 20 to Ubuntu 22.04, Thunderbird has become unstable when using a wacom-style tablet: every time I try to drag and drop an email, it crashes. It also doesn't respond well to the wacom pen buttons. Other software seems to work well. I tried safe mode disabling all add-ons, and same result. On the terminal, I see this error when it happens:
