Thunderbird appears to be running Message Filters on the Trash Folder

Thunderbird 128.4.2 on Windows 11 Pro 24H4

Has anyone else seen this problem? Does anyone know how to fix it?

Messages that I delete - they get moved to the Trash Folder - are getting un-deleted.

I have Message Filters that move incoming messages to folders.

I also have a Saved Search ("virtual") Folder that matches only on "Status is New". The folder is configured to include the "Location" Column to list which folders the new messages are in.

When I notice that this "new messages" Saved Search Folder has messages in it - the New Messages Count Icon increases - I open it. I delete some messages in it. The Trash Folder only briefly has NEW messages in it - the New Messages Count Icon on the folder appears, then it disappears. Then these NEW messages re-appear in the virtual folder with the Location Folder they had before deleting them. And the messages are indeed back in those folders.

I don't understand this. It *looks* like the Message Filters are running on the Trash Folder and moving NEW messages (back) into folders and out of the Trash Folder. But filters should not run on the Trash Folder.

I forgot to say that, if I mark the messages as READ using the icon/button in the Read Status column before deleting the messages, the problem doesn't happen.
