Public bug reported:

I have been using enigmail in thunderbird until I upgraded Ubuntu and
with it thunderbird to the latest version 1:78.3.2+build1-0ubuntu1

As enigmail is now integrated in thunderbird, I have gone through the
painful upgrade process (it does not allow to look into passwordmanager
for the pasphrase of the gpg keys it wants to import by blocking all
other windows), and decryption of emails now works.

But when looking at a decrypted email, fully being able to read the text
content, when I want to use the Menu option "Decrypt and Open" by right
clicking on an attachment (pdf in this case), nothing happens.

What I expect to happen: The pdf file being shown to me in the pdf
viewer. Or some error being displayed, or maybe I am asked for my gpg
passphrase again for additional security.


When trying the option "Decrypt and save as", next I can select a folder and 
filename, (the pdf name without .gpg) and chose "save" - but when looking into 
that folder, there is no decrypted file. (I tried this plenty of time, I am 
sure its not there, and I did this action before the upgrade many times 
successfully).

What I would expect: the attached file without the .gpg suffix (the
filename proposed when opening the dialog, which I did not change) in
the selected directory.
