140877 - Should not allow multiple identical entries

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 271570

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Address Book & Contacts, defect)

Description

[Pablo Stern]

The address book allows multiple identical entries in the same book.  This makes
for problems - if one is updated which is the current one etc.  It also means
the Collected Addresses has loads of repeated entries, so holds fewer addresses
in practice.

Marking as new since I can't find a duplicate at this time. Changing Summary to
"Should not allow multiple idential entries".

mass re-assign.

Comment 3

[Ted Hall]

Also occurs on Mac OS X.

It's related to list hierarchies.  If I create a list within a list, and
drag-and-drop an entry from the parent list to the sub-list, it adds a duplicate
entry to the parent list as well.

MASS-CHANGE:
This bug report is registered in the SeaMonkey product, but has been without a comment since the inception of the SeaMonkey project. This means that it was logged against the old Mozilla suite and we cannot determine that it's still valid for the current SeaMonkey suite. Because of this, we are setting it to an UNCONFIRMED state.

If you can confirm that this report still applies to current SeaMonkey 2.x nightly builds, please set it back to the NEW state along with a comment on how you reproduced it on what Build ID, or if it's an enhancement request, why it's still worth implementing and in what way.
If you can confirm that the report doesn't apply to current SeaMonkey 2.x nightly builds, please set it to the appropriate RESOLVED state (WORKSFORME, INVALID, WONTFIX, or similar).
If no action happens within the next few months, we move this bug report to an EXPIRED state.
