Steps to reproduce:

Copy and paste (from any source, like notepad/excel) an list of email addresses (separated by \n\r) incl. empty lines/cell into the address field of a new email.

Example:
1-test@mailinator.com

2-test@mailinator.com

Actual results:

The empty line is rendered as two sequential occurrences of comma ",,":

1-test@mailinator.com,,2-test@mailinator.com

This leads the address to be interpreted (and send) as:
"1-test@mailinator.com"
and
",2-test@mailinator.com"
(the second one is incorrect with its leading comma).

Expected results:

Ignore empty lines (or ",,"), solution should also work with multiple empty lines.

This is handy if you have to grab addresses from external sources, like excel, ...

We fixed multiple commas in TB 70 beta 1 in bug 1336785.

If I paste

a@a.b

c@d.e

I see a@a.b,,c@d.e and if I hit return, two fields are filled it, so it's all good. Where is the problem?

It doesn't work in TB 68, it does what you described. So are you really using TB 70??
