New Message Counter Bugged since coulple of releases

Hi there,

since a couple of releases since I installed thunderbird on my MacBook, I got the problem that the counter displays 99+ unread messages when everything is read. It only transforms to a no red dot icon when I have 3 unread messages across my accounts, and then if more come in starts to count up. I waited thinking it's just a bug on one release (as it suddenly started doing it after an update, but I don't remember what version that was) but after receiving the newest update (Version 102.9.1 (64-Bit)) it is still not fixed.

I have tried changing the system settings for the icon (disabling this red dot and then turning it back on) but it didn't work.

Any other suggestions?

As of the latest Thunderbird Update (120.10.0) and MacOS Release (13.3.1 (22E261)) it seems to be finally fixed :)
