536674 - Display of addresses dragged to Distribution List incomplete

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 343304

(Thunderbird :: Address Book, defect)

Description

[Robert Sparbel]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.6) Gecko/20091201 Firefox/3.5.6 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.5) Gecko/20091204 Thunderbird/3.0

After creating a new (empty) Mailing List under a specific address book I select (click, shift-click a subsequent address) a group of addresses and then drag them to the new distribution list name.  Sometimes the entire group is copied and displayed correctly.  Other times only ONE of the several addressees appears.  When I delete the one addressee that appears, then switch to another list or address book, and then again switch back to the list of interest another of the addressees appears.  I can repeat this process of deleting, switching, switching back, and deleting again until the entire group of addressees that were initially copied have been deleted.

I have been able to create two lists and populate them by dragging, resulting in successful display of all addressees.  When I tried a third list the above described problem appeared.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. In address book: Tools > Import a .csv file to populate an address book
2. Right click the address book name > New List; and provide a Mailing List name
3. Select several addressees from the address book and drag them to the Mailing List name.
4. Some times the full group of addressees is displayed, other times only one of the several addressees is displayed.
Actual Results:  
When the software fails, it should display all the addressees dragged into the Mailing list, but only displays one though more are actually there.

Expected Results:  
It should always display the entire list of addressees.
