Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Thunderbird :: Address Book, defect)

Description

[Jeff Nicoll]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040707 Firefox/0.9.2
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040707 Firefox/0.9.2

I have 2 people who share an email address.  When I add them both to a list, the
list can do several wrong things when viewing this list as a "sub-folder" of the
book in the book in the address book window.  I have seen: 
1.  Only one name will be shown.  The second name, however, might be visible in
the list pop-up, the box you get when double-clicking the list in the nav pane.  
2.  Two entries of the same name are shown.  
3.  The first name will be changed to match the other entry.  
4.  The first name will be cleared.  


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Create a new list called "test"
2.  Create a new entry:  John Doe [e-mail]
3.  Create a new entry:  Joe Doe [e-mail]
4.  Create a new list called "deer"
5.  With "test" selected and the entries visible, select both entries and drag
and drop them onto the empty list "deer" either one at a time or both at once
6.  Select "deer" and observe that only John Doe is in the list.  
7.  Double-click "deer" and observe that only Joe Doe is shown.
Actual Results:  
From above:
6.  Select "deer" and observe that only John Doe is in the list.  
7.  Double-click "deer" and observe that only Joe Doe is shown.

Expected Results:  
Both names should be in the list unmodified

I've got Windows XP Pro SP2.
This occurred on both v0.9 and v1.0.
