275398 - Duplicate entries in book botches "To" line in emails

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Thunderbird :: Address Book, defect)

Description

[cooperg]

Thunderbird version 1.0 (20041206) 

I have two entries in my address book for the same person (why, I don't know).
Since 1.0 whenever I type his name (in the example I would type "smith") in the
"To" line for emails, both entries show up.

In the address book itself it looks like this

Entry 1:

Card for "Bob J. Smith"
Contact
Display Name: "Bob J. Smith"
Email: [e-mail]

Entry 2:

Card for Bob Smith
Contact
Display Name: Bob Smith
Nickname: Bob
Email: [e-mail]
Additional Email: [e-mail]

In Composer it looks like this:

Bob Smith <[e-mail]> >> "Bob J. Smith" <[e-mail]>

It doesn't seem to happen if I type "smith" then wait before hitting tab. If I
type quickly and immediately hit tab, this occurs.

I have similar problem, thunderbird knows two similar addresses,
[e-mail] and [e-mail]. So only domain is different.
When quickly typing one of them and hitting tab address written in To: field is
changed to another.
