Trying to print an email causes hard loop

I am using Thunderbird 115.15.0 (64-bit) on openSUSE Thundebird. This is the KDE version. I have verified that it fails with both the Wayland and X11 versions.

Why I try to print an email, the Print Dialog appears with the circular animation and the message "Preparing Preview." It then hangs in a loop. The only way to stop it is to use the System Monitor to Kill Thunderbird.

This is a serious problem as there are emails that need to be printed and there is no convenient way to print them otherwise.
