1729214 - Edit contact from contact pane of selected mailing list does not immediately update the contact in the tree list

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Thunderbird :: Address Book, defect, P4)

Description

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #534564 +++

I'd think Geoff could probably fix this easily.

STR

1. Have mailing list with some contacts, including: John Doe, [e-mail]
2. Select mailing list in directory pane, so that contained contacts show in contact pane
3. Double-click to edit contact (John)
4. Change contact's email address (or any other property visible in the contact pane): [e-mail] >> [e-mail]
5. OK to close Edit contact dialog
6. Without further clicks, observe contact's (John) email address in contact pane email column

Actual

• email address is still [e-mail] (not updated in tree view)
• double-click on contact shows the edit was made correctly.
• email will continue to display wrong until you force an update of contact pane by clicking on another directory and then back to the mailing list

Expected

• properties e.g. email address should update immediately after editing the contact

Attachment: Screenshot 1: Contact pane display inside mailing list out of sync after editing card

Here's the situation. Card was edited inside mailing list tree view, email changed, edit dialog closed, and re-opened.

We're now focusing on the new adddress book up. Not going to fix more in the old one.
