(Thunderbird :: Address Book, defect)

Description

[Nigel Binns]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-GB; rv:1.9.2.15) Gecko/20110303 Firefox/3.6.15
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-GB; rv:1.9.2.15) Gecko/20110303 Lightning/1.0b2 Thunderbird/3.1.9

Duplicate name and e-mail address entries appear in the Address Book if a name is added to a mailing list. The expected behaviour would be a single entry for the contact in the main address book that would also belong to/appear in the particular mailing list group.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add a contact in the address book.
2. Create a new mailing list.
3. Add the new contact created in step one to the new mailing list.
4. Search for the new contact created in step one and find duplicate entries.
Actual Results:  
A duplicate entry of the contact was found after searching for it in the address book.

Expected Results:  
The expected behaviour would be a single entry for the contact in the main address book that would also belong to/appear in the particular mailing list group that it was added to.

This behaviour has been observed in all versions of Thunderbird starting from v3.0 and on Windows XP Professional 32-bit.

Hi,
Could you attach a print-screen of the issue? I didn't succeed to reproduce it.
