Event update message and related existing event

This problem also exists in Thunderbird 115.1.0 under openSUSE Tumbleweed.

Today (August 3, 2023) Thunderbird updated to 115.1.0.  Now, replies to calendar event updates that are received do not display an "Update" button, and I can find no other way to accept the update.  Thus, the calendar event does not get updated.  A search of Mozilla's Bugzilla was not helpful.

I have added a screenshot with an update message displayed.  The red arrow points to the existing event that should be updated (to a new date and time).  The message came from a separate instance of Thunderbird (115.1.0) running on a different OS, and the "From" and "To" email addresses are different.

Unfortunately, downgrading TB is not a simple fix as 115.1.0 updated my profile.

I'm guessing that these are related

Till, yes I agree.  I have experienced those issues, too.  An "invitation" is always sent to me, even though I am the organizer.  In the event, my email address shows has having accepted.  I have not created many new events since update to TB 115.1, so I cannot say that invitations to other participants are never sent out.  But, they are not sent out at least sometimes (I will pay closer attention).

Also, and maybe related, when I open up the "Invite Attendees" dialog to add attendees, I see my email address on the first line, just as expected.  But, when I add an attendee, three new lines appear instead of one:  the added attendee, a blank line with the "Required Attendee" and "Individual" icons, the added attendee again, and then another blank line with the same two icons.  This pattern repeats with each added attendee.

Thank you, Till, for finding these two bugs.  Let me know if I should add mine to Mozilla's bugzilla.
