Description

[Joe Adinolf]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1b1pre) Gecko/20080925121544 SeaMonkey/2.0a1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1b1pre) Gecko/20080925121544 SeaMonkey/2.0a1

This is SM 2.0a1

When using mail and going to Compose and then Address there are no addresses shown in the window. The address you want can be accessed by typing the person's name in the search area.

My address book imported with no problems.

I have installed the program on 2 computers just to be sure. Same result.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to mail
2.Go to compose
3.Go to address
Actual Results:  
No addresses in window

Expected Results:  
Addresses in window

I'm not sure of the correct terminology. When I say window, the description may not be correct but you probably know what I mean.

Confirming, on trunk.

When I switched "Look in:" of "Collected Addresses" and back to "Personal Address book" on Select Addresses window - Contacts are displayed.

Yes, that works and I noted that the names are jumbled and not in alphabetical order.

Thanks lenochod.

I am also experiencing this problem...can get the addresses by selecting "Collected Addresses" then back to "Personal Address book"

I mentioned this on the moz.support.seamonkey newsgroup and got a response from Hartmut Figge (Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; rv:1.9.1b3pre) Gecko/20081227
Mnenhy/0.7.5.20005.h1 SeaMonkey/2.0a3pre) so it would seem this is not just a Windows problem.

This problem has carried over to 2.0b1, and is a little more difficult for me to get my addresses to show.  I have to click back and forth several times to get the addresses to appear.  Needless to say this is a real problem for people like me who use e-mail a lot.

I hope this is going to get someone's attention soon.  In case it matters, I upgraded from 1.1.14.

At least the names are in alphabetical order which is a big plus.

Comment 7

[chicagolovr]

Yes, but clicking 4 times to get to them, is not very convenient.   ;)

AFAICS this is SM-only code even though it (still) lives under mailnews/.

Looks like abList already has the right value, no?

As this is address book, Standard8 might be a quicker review.
