Bug Description

Not sure if this is a bug, or new intended behaviour. In Thunderbird 78, double clicking on a calendar item showed its edit dialog. In Thunderbird 91, double clicking on a calendar item shows a summary dialog, and you then have to click on the edit button to edit it. Since you almost always want to edit rather than view, this is less convenient. If this is an intended behaviour, it would be good to have a configuration setting to disable it, and go directly to the edit dialog.
