1779781 - 'All Address Books' in Vertical View - no option to select show address books

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1778871

(Thunderbird :: Address Book, defect)

Description

[Anje]

Windows 10
Version 102.0.2

Testing in Safe Mode

In Address Book
Select 'All Address Books'
Select 'Vertical' view

Trying to see which address books contain same contact.
This is also one the methods used to identify an incorrect entry when contact is stored in more than one address book.
Or whether I have more than one entry for a particular contact and which address books are they in.

The menu icon to right of search offers various search options but does not offer to display name of address book where the contact is located.

Even if you select a contact which displays on the right - there is no mention in right pane of the name of address book that contact is located within.

Even when you click on Edit, you still have no idea which address book that contact is in.

'Horizontal' view does offer option to have column header 'Address book' enabled.

Expectation:
When using 'All Address Books', whether Vertical or Horizontal view, I would expect to see information telling me which address book the contact is located within.

Thanks Anje, I agree we need this as an option. I'll dupe this to the other bug which was filed first and has a shorter description.
