52297 - Entering a recipient into compose window, causes us to scroll and hide data

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 51360

(MailNews Core :: Composition, defect, P3)

Description

[Scott MacGregor]

Using Win32 release build from 9/12. When I bring up a compose window and
1) Enter an adddress and hit enter
2) the compose window appears to "scroll" to show me a new blank To: field. My
original email address no longer shows up in the envelope. Scrolling back to the
top top still shows a blank To: row  with no content.

It is almost like my entry has been removed from the view!

This makes me think there is data loss; we don't show the email addresses I've
added.

However when I send the message, the recipients are still there.

Because of this bug, I often kill the compose window because I don't think my
recipients are there. I also frequently type the recipient names multiple times
because I think we didn't get it the first time.

Nominating for nsbeta3 AND dogfood. The apparent data loss of recipients in the
compose window justifies both of these nominations IMHO.
