448259 - Space deletion in vCard field when they contain a long string with more of 60 chars

Status: NEW

(Thunderbird :: Address Book, defect)

Description

[Laurent Bauvens]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; fr; rv:1.9.0.1) Gecko/2008070208 Firefox/3.0.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla Thunderbird version 2.0.0.16 (20080708)

When you type a long character string with some accentuated characters in a text zone of the Address tab, a blank character is suppressed between the last words.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Menu Tools > Account Settings
2.Choose an account
3.Button Edit Card
4.Address Tab
5. In Department text zone, type "Direction de la Maitrise Médicalisée et des Dépenses de Santé"
6.Button OK
7.Button Edit Card
8.Address Tab 

Actual Results:  
The Department text zone contains "Direction de la Maitrise Médicalisée et des Dépenses deSanté" 
(the blank between the words "de" and "Santé" has disappeared)

Expected Results:  
The text zone should contain "Direction de la Maitrise Médicalisée et des Dépenses de Santé"

All text zones in the Address tab have the same behaviour. 

The bug arrives when the string is long and contains a certain amount of accentuated characters.

Confirmed here on 

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.4) Gecko/20100603 Lightning/1.0b2pre Lanikai/3.1.1pre ID:20100603033747

I test the STR provided by Laurent: I have add to my address field the text
Direction de la Maitrise Médicalisée et des Dépenses de Santé

and I see behavior described in comment #0.

It unrelated to accented chars, but only to a length of text: it seems that when text is more length than 60 chars, the last space in string is deleted.

Not major but sure very annoying bug.

And I suppose that is unrelated to OS.

Not reproduced in Thunderbird 78.6.1 using all fields of the "Professional" tab, might have been fixed since 2010. Suggest to close as FIXED unless one of you can still reproduce it.
