Steps to reproduce:

I entered a new contact to my existing address book.

Actual results:

In the inbox the sender's name of that address remained as it is in the email header rather than changing to the Display name I entered in the address book.
Former versions upated this latest when I clicked onto another account or folder and returned back to the initial folder.
Now I have to go to settings - general - reading and view and have to remove the tick from the box at "Only show display name on known contacts" and tick it again.
Then the changes apply.
I hope the wording leads you to the right place in the settings, I am using the German version

Expected results:

After entering a new contact to the address book and defining a display name, this should show up in teh mail folder instead of the sender's data in teh email header
