Using SM 2.48 I open a SM 'new message' then open the window 'Address 
Book' and drag and drop an email address into the "To" field. BUT it

Why use the address book?

Just start typing the recipients name in the To: field.

If I were to select Compose and open a new message, then open the 
Address Book and select a recipient. I would use the To-> button to add 
the address to the "Address message to:" field on the right side of the 
Select Addresses window.


Drag and drop also adds the address correctly for me.

Does the same problem occur in safe mode?

I get the same duplication with 2.46. Depending on the precise
details of my mouse movement, the second copy can appear on a
separate To: line or somewhere within the same line.

It's clearly not a problem with the data, but with the transfer
process, so I wouldn't mess with the address book entries.


Sooo, has the problem been submitted as a  "bug?"


I hope so, but I don't have the time at the moment to chase it down.

I guess you could export your address book. Looks like any format will 
do, but LDIF might make it easier to preserve field mapping. Filter out 
any ">" or "<" characters and then re-import from corrected file.
