Cannot cut-n-paste mail addresses from To: field to Cc: field
Last modified: 2013-09-10 14:03:39 UTC
Description of Problem: When composing a mail, I cannot move recipients from one address field (To:, Cc: or Bcc:) to another. Cut-n-paste copies the text string (display name) only and not the e-mail address. This happens only when the e-mail addresses are in my Contact list. Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Start composing a new mail. 2. Insert a few addresses from the Contact list to the To: field. 3. Try moving one of the recipients to the Cc: or Bcc: field using cut-n-paste. Actual Results: Only the display name is moved to the Cc: or Bcc: field. Expected Results: The recipient's e-mail address should also be copied to the target field. How often does this happen? Always Additional Information:
This is a bug in the Contacts code breaking the behavior of the entry widget. Reassigning.

This bug is not actaully a dup of bug 273285 , that bug is about not being able to paste anything (which means no action takes place). This is about when you paste only name is copied not the associated email . this is same as bug 207728 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 207728 ***
