412173 - Can't remove fullname from auto-completed addresses

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 369559

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

[Ralf G. R. Bergs]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.11) Gecko/20071127 Firefox/2.0.0.11
Build Identifier: version 2.0.0.9 (20071031)

I started typing a To: address when it was auto-completed by Thunderbird from some address in my "Collected addresses" addressbook.

The address part itself was what I wanted, but the fullname part of the saved address contained the name of a person which I didn't want to appear in the To: address, so I removed it from the input line.

No matter what I tried, as soon as I left the To: line the address was auto-completed again to include the fullname stored in my "Collected addresses" addressbook.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Stored in addressbook:

Tech Support (John Doe) <[e-mail]>

Typing in To: field:

supp... >> Tech Support (John Doe) <[e-mail]>

Remove fullname:

supp... >> [e-mail]

Leave line by clicking in message body text area.

Actual Results:  
To: Tech Support (John Doe) <[e-mail]>


Expected Results:  
To: [e-mail]


There doesn't seem to be any workaround other than deleting the saved address from the addressbook.
