Editing a calendar event puts up a needless dialogbox

In or around TB 91.3.1 double-clicking on an event, you get a dialog box such as the attached. In order to edit the event, you have to hit the Edit button. In the past, TB would just open the event and allow you to edit it. If the event was recurring then, and only then, would a small dialog box come up to ask if you were editing just this event or all events. I see no advantage to this extra dialog box, especially for one-time-only events. It's just another unnecessary click of the mouse.

Mozilla Thunderbird 78.14.0 (64-bit) [raspberry pi os, 64-bit]

Upon upgrading from Mozilla Thunderbird 60.4.0, I encountered the following problem: Whereas editing a repeating event prompted me only once to choose if I wanted to edit "only this occurrence" or "edit all occurrences", with the upgraded version I am prompted every time to choose between the two. This is a PITA, and unnecessary (in my view). While I can understand how this might be of value to other users, I am equally sure that for many it is unnecessary.

Q: Can this be made user-configurable?
