Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 295347

(Thunderbird :: Address Book, defect)

Description

[Fenix]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1

When a contact is copied from one distribution list to another one two (or more)
times, the destination list accepts it only once, but its parent address book
will contain it in two (or more) identical copies. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create two address books (e.g. "Foo" and "Bar") a card inside one of them
(e.g. "Bill" in "Foo") and a mailing list inside the other one (e.g.
"Classmates" in "Bar")
2. Copy "Bill" with mouse (Drag&Drop) directly from its location onto the
"Classmates" mailing list
3. Repeat step 2. (You may do this more times)


Actual Results:  
"Classmates" list contains only once the "Bill" card, however "Bar" address book
contains many "Bill" cards. Furthermore, deleting any "Bill" in "Bar" results in
deleting "Bill" from "Classmates"

Expected Results:  
The address book "Bar" should have accepted only one "Bill" card as well as the
"Classmates" list did.

This bug will be fixed by the patch on bug 295347 -> duping, it's a very similar
test case, the fix is the same.
