Description
Checklist

- I will describe the problem with as much detail as possible.
App
Thunderbird for Android
App version
16.1
Where did you get the app from?
Google Play
Android version
16
Device model
OnePlus 13
Steps to reproduce
- Receive new email notification
- Press 'Mark as Read' button on notification
- Observe correct functionality (notification is dismissed, message marked as read)
- Add 'Message List' widget to home screen
- Receive new email notification
- Press 'Mark as Read' button on notification
- Observe no functionality at all (notification not dismissed, message not marked as read)
I originally observed this while still on K-9 mail after the Android 15 > 16 update. I switched to Thunderbird and observed the same issue.
Expected behavior
Expectation is that notification actions function regardless of widget presence on Android 16.
Actual behavior
Presence of 'Message List' widget affects the function of notification actions on Android 16.

Research direction
Reproduce the failure on Android 16 with and without the Message List widget, using the notification actions described in the issue. Trace the notification-action and widget interaction in the Kotlin Android code; done means Mark as Read and Delete dismiss the notification and perform their actions in both configurations.
