1958030 - Contact photo not showing when e-mail address has capitalized letters. Make Address Book NOT case sensitive.

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Thunderbird :: Message Reader UI, defect)

Description

[Peter Lairo]

Attachment: Screenshot - all lower case e-mail - photo is visible

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:137.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/137.0

Steps to reproduce:

Case A:

1. Add a contact with NONE of the letters capitalized (e.g. [e-mail])
2. Add a profile photo
3. open an e-mail from that sender.

Case B:

1. Add a contact with some letters capitalized (to make it more legible!) (e.g. [e-mail])
2. Add a profile photo
3. open an e-mail from that sender.

Actual results:

Case A:

• Contact photo is shown on the left of the Sender's Name & e-mail.

Case B:

• Contact photo is NOT shown on the left of the Sender's Name & e-mail.

Expected results:

The Contact photo should be shown on the left of the Sender's Name & e-mail, whether there are capitalized letters or not.

Please make the showing of the contact photo independent of any capitalization of the e-mail addresses.

This used to work, and something changed some unknown time ago, so this is a REGRESSION (or a really bad deliberate decision).
