User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.9.2.8) Gecko/20100722 Firefox/3.6.8 ( .NET CLR 3.5.30729)

I have displayed address book  as sidebar.
When I click a contact in adress book, it is added to "To:"
recipient entry and it is displayed black. When I drag the same
item (contact) from address book and drop it into recipient pane,
it is added correctly in "To:" recipient entry too, but
its color turns red.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. drag item from address book side panel
2. drop it into recipient pane

Actual Results:  
address text turns red

Expected Results:  
address text should be black - like when I clicked that item in address book side panel
