269816 - can't import text address files

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Thunderbird :: Address Book, defect)

Description

[Don VanSyckel]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

When importing text files to the address book the tools displays multiple lines
from the data file as though they were all one line.  In walking through with
'Next' different numbers of input lines are lumped (incorrectly) together into
various potential input records.

I receive a new updated list monthly from another person as a text file.  This
file words fine with Netscape 4.76.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open address book
2. Tools / Import
3. 'Address Books' / Next
4. 'Text file' / Next


Actual Results:  
'Import Address Book' window appears with more than one input line in the display.

Expected Results:  
Displayed the data from the first line of the input file

Win 2000 Pro
New Thunderbird install

Can you attach a sample file to this bug, so that we've got something to test
against?
