Bug 1661953 Comment 1 Edit History

Thanks Otto for providing this feedback.
We have completely redesigned the addressing area, so things now work a little bit different.
Fortunately, detailed documentation for the new addressing area is available in English [1] and currently being translated into other languages.

I think Otto was trying to use exactly TB 68 use patterns:
1) place cursor after last recipient, press `ENTER` expecting new row for another recipient to be created - FAIL (because in TB78 that will just move the focus).
2) place cursor after last recipient, cursor-left to edit that recipient - FAIL (because in TB78 that will just select the recipient item aka recipient pill, but you cannot immediately edit that).

Here's how it works now in TB 78:
1) New in TB78: Just type another recipient in the same row, then press `Enter` to confirm that. All recipients of same type now conveniently grouped in the same input field.
2) New in TB78: Each recipient is an item (which allows easy selection and action on one or multiple recipients), and you need to press `Enter` OR `F2` (Windows only) OR double-click OR `Edit` from recipient context menu to edit that item.

These changes achieve massive benefits wrt ux-efficiency and ease of use. You'll soon love them!

- right-click on recipient item and choose `Edit` from context menu

Here's how it works now in TB 78:
1) New in TB78: With cursor after an existing recipient item, **just type another recipient in the same row, then press `Enter` ** to confirm that. All recipients of same type now conveniently grouped in the same input field.
2) New in TB78: Each recipient is an item (which allows easy selection and action on one or multiple recipients), and you need to use one of the following ways to edit that item:
- press `Enter`
