I discovered a few anomalies that make address entry for addresses that contain a comma in their display name impossible. Assume that you have the following in your address book: b, a <ab@example.com> b, c <cb@example.com> alessandro@thunderbird.net First, we want to write an e-mail to a new recipient, a, x <example.com>. So we start typing a, - When the comma is entered, the autocomplete will select alessandro@thunderbird.net. Second, we want to write to b, c <cb@example.com>. So we enter b, and and b, a <ab@example.com> is selected. Third, since typing doesn't work, we open the address book, used "Write" from the context menu for b, c <cb@example.com> and the resulting pill is `b <>`.
