272823 - addresses vanish from mailing list when added only to mailing list

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 117836

(Thunderbird :: Address Book, defect)

Description

[Peter Felix Schuster]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; chrome://navigator/locale/navigator.properties; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla Thunderbird version 1.0RC1 (20041201)

When I add new contacts (by pressing the icon "New Card", not in the Properties
dialog) to a mailing list they vanish when I leave and re-enter the mailing
list's sub folder but still appear in my personal address book.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.I create a new mailing list (e.g. "test list") in my personal address book and
don't enter any addresses yet but press OK. 
2.Then I chose the test list "sub-folder" of my address book and create a new
card, using the "new card" icon, entering name, address and other important bits
of that contact, finishing with "OK". (The contact is there)
3.I leave and re-enter the sub-folder

Actual Results:  
The contact is gone. Well, not completely, it does appear in the "main folder"
of my personal address book and can be moved to the sub folder again (and then
stays there).

Expected Results:  
Place the contact in the personal address book and a copy/link of that contact
in the mailing list.

The problem doesn't appear when I create a new mailing list and directly enter
the addresses into the "create new mailing list" dialogue. Used OS: Win2kSP4 and
SUSE-LINUX 8.2pro.

Looks like a dupe of bug 117836 (it is for Mozilla Suite AB).

Problem still occurs in TB Version 1.0 (20041206) = final.

Here's my report from bug #284769:

Address books don't seem to handle commas well.  I had reported this problem 
on bug #218105 because it seems like it might be related, but that bug has 
been resolved & I was advised to open a new bug.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a new list.
2. Click to add a new card. Type in a test name and put a comma in the 
display name.
3. After creating the card, click on a different list & then come back to 
the one you created (to refresh it)

Actual Results:  
The card is gone, but when you go back into the parent address book, it's 
still in there.

Expected Results:  
The card should stay in the list where it was created.

bug 117836 has just been moved to core address book - duping this bug to that 
one.
