User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:35.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/35.0
Build ID: 20150122214805

Steps to reproduce:

entered e-mail address in Thunderbird (e.g., jsmith@provider.com) when this e-mail address was already in the address book


Actual results:

address line is completed as 

jsmith@provider.com >> John Smith <jsmith@provider.com>

When you go to send the e-mail, the system chokes because of the e-mail address followed by the ">>" and the e-mail is not sent


Expected results:

just 

John Smith <jsmith@provider.com>

should end up in the address line

I am using 31.4.0, but this has been happening ever since the change that caused the change in the backgrounds of the "To:" fields. It has continued through the several releases since then.

Please get 31.5.0 where this has been fixed.

Feedback:
I would like to thank everyone for fixing this bug.
Using 31.5.0
the >> issue is resolved. Whilst it initially returns the >>, upon tab, return or clicking in another TO, Subject or compose area, the error is corrected to show correct email address. This includes any email address and nickname. Many thanks, much appreciated.

Anje, thanks for your feedback!
You probably mean display name, not nickname. Two different animals.
Magnus has done a lot of work in this area, and all of us were on board to sort things out and describe/discuss/move issues.
Hi Thomas
re: You probably mean display name, not nickname. Two different animals.

Yes they are two different animals :)
But, I tested for both.
So I thought I would also make it known that the 'nickname' was also working.
I had reported it as a separate bug
