295860 - Cards cannot be copied from one list into another, they are only added to the mailing list

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Thunderbird :: Address Book, defect)

Description

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

When I have a card in a custom list of the Address Book and try to move it to
another list using drag and drop, the name and the email address get added to
the mailing list which belongs to the list, but all other information is lost
and the card does not show up in the new list.

It's not possible to move any cards form one list to another.

However, there is a way to get the names and the email adresses from the mailing
list into the actual list:

You just have to create a new card with lots of information like working
address, phone numbers etc. but leave the email address blank.
When such a card is moved to a list, it really gets moved to it and not just to
the mailing list.
Surprisingly, from this moment on also all other mailing list names show up as
cards in the list.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

Actual Results:

Expected Results:  
Thunderbird should allow it to move cards from one list to another without
losing any information and without doing strange things like explained above.
There should not be a mixing of the list and the mailing list.
