Also list turns blank when leaving list and comming back.

Another issue: Adding contacts in the list-dialog, gets doubled contacts.

If you have time and can still reproduce the problem, please read https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Bug_writing_guidelines and add a more useful description to this report. Also, please only file one issue per report.

Ok, if I remember right:

- Double-click on list
- Add emails to the list
- Ok (close)
- Double-click on list

>> prev list contacts have disappeared

does this occur in a newly created address book?
with thunderbird started in safe mode?   (help | restart)

Information from reporter:
- adding emails by typing in list
- double contacts in list's AB (where reporter most probably tried to delete the duplicates)
- blank list when returning, entries disappear

So that has exactly all the ingredients of bug 628035.

And even if it wasn't exactly that, there wouldn't be much point of further analysis as long as bug 628035 and friends aren't fixed, more so as the whole AB is hopefully on the brink of being replaced (within the next two years or so...)
