Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Thunderbird :: Address Book, defect)

Description

[Jeffrey]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:96.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/96.0

Steps to reproduce:

I created a new Address Book (left side)
I wanted to move or copy (prefer copy) a Contact to the new address book.
No Drag and Drop or Copy options.

Actual results:

Nothing happened.

Expected results:

The Contact should have been moved to new Address Book.
Note a solution was found. But you should not have to have an email address necessary to be able to move Contacts.

Drag and Drop plus Copy should be available options.

For searchability, please avoid using contractions in bug summaries. (FWIW, "dnd" or "dragndrop" is more common than "d'n'd", at least in English)

Confirmed. Contact without an address cannot be moved or copied.

Looks like this was fixed by bug 1770146.
