287231 - Strange behavior of sub-groups of Personal Address book

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 276374

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Address Book & Contacts, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050319

My personal address book has 5 subgroups (mailing lists).  A single click on
four of the groups show its respective members; a double click reveals the
"Mailing List" dialog box with the same info.  But one group (of 10 people)
appears empty; however a double click on this 'empty' group brings up the
"Mailing List" box where I can see all 10 members.  This problem didn't exist in
previous versions of Mozilla (I've had many).  I can't see any reason why the
members of this group don't appear with a single click.  An .ldif export of the
'empty' group yields a file of zero bytes.  Let me know if I can provide any
other info.  (And thanks for fixing the export function in 1.7.6)

Reproducible: Always

I would expect that this is due to a bug whereby the mailing lists don't show
all cards in the address book pane due to a blank email address in the mailing
list. Though I don't think this had changed between 1.7.5 and 1.7.6. This sounds
like a duplicate of bug 276374 that was submitted against thunderbird.

Reporter, please can you have a look at bug 276374 and see if you think that is
your problem.

No, this isn't the same as 276374 for there you would see a card icon without a
name next to it.  Here, a single click on a group icon shows nothing in the RH
pane - RH pane totally blank

Adding qawanted keyword, This needs confirming and a possible explanation as to 
what causes the failure.

Bennet: Do you see any errors in the JS Console?  Do you have any idea what is
special about the one list that doesn't work?  Can you try one of the older
builds again that did work?  If you export your addressbook and import it into a
new profile, does it still exhibit the same behavior?

From further email conversation from reporter (sorry for the delay in reading
the response):

>Thank you; you've hit the nail on the head.  The last icon had no name next to it.
> I deleted it and now a single click will show the members in the RH pane. 
Much obliged for your assistance. 

Therefore, marking as a duplicate of bug 276374. If there is disagreement with
this, please re-open with reasons why.
