1184991 - Recipient autocomplete spontaneously changes the addressee email and send it to wrong recipient with saved address or in address book

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1152517

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

[Benoit Rousseau]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/43.0.2357.134 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

I wrote a new message to someone in my address book (used the autocomplete in the address field).  Name/email address was correct.


Actual results:

Upon sending the message, TB changed the recipient to another name/email close to that of the original one.  Noticed it as I (and my wife who also uses TB) started getting replies from those unintended recipients.

Issue appeared in TB 31.5 and later version (I have not tried the latest 31.8 version).  I have reverted to TB 31.3 version until bug is fixed.


Expected results:

Email should have gone to the right recipients.

Benoit, pls look at bug 1152517 of which this is most likely a duplicate. Pls confirm if that applies.
Otherwise there are a few other listed in the see-also field of bug 1152517.

Fixes will mostly land on the newest versions; it's not recommended to remain with outdated versions.

Hi,

Yes, this seems to be the same bug.  Looking forward to the fix as I won't use any new versions until it is no longer an issue.  Thanks all for producing a great piece of software.
