757846 - Pasting comma-separated list of addresses into addressee field in compose window no longer works

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

[Jonathan Kamens]

In Thunderbird 12.0.1, you can paste a comma-separated list of addresses into the "To:" field in a message compose window, then hit enter, and TB will automatically split the list into separate addresses. I think other separators besides comma also worked, but I'm not certain about that.

In Thunderbird trunk, you can't. When you paste such a list of addresses and hit enter, only the first address is preserved.

This is a serious regression.

Hoping to see some action on this soon... I think it's a pretty serious regression.
