Hello jean-Marc,

i can't reproduce your problem.

I did the following test:

I use forky (Debian - testing)

I updated to thunderbird 140.5 which is in testing since today

i wrote an test email signed and crypted - all things worked well as the 
years before (around version 78)

I use a cryptostick with my gpg key

The same way I sign this email

Regards

Mechtilde
