Description Not Zed 2005-09-01 03:40:51 UTC 
Version details: approximately 2.4.0 branchpoint cvs

If you type in an email address, one that isn't in your addressbook, then type
comma, then another address, then comma, then start typing another.

If you delete the address character by character, when it hits the comma it then
selects the entire address - one keystroke terminates its existance, but leaves
the comma there.  another delete keystroke then highlights the first address,
and 1 delete keystroke then deletes the whole thing.  You're left with 2 commas
with no addresses.

it should behave like a simple text entry box, delete shouldn't delete the whole
thing.
Comment 1 André Klapper 2005-09-01 10:03:05 UTC 
confirming this.

imo, it's nice to be able to delete an entire address at once (marking still
works so i think it's pretty good), but the comma remains, as micahel already said.

Fix committed to cvs head and gnome-2-12 branch.
Comment 3 C Shilpa 2005-10-07 10:08:08 UTC 
reopening the bug. still happens in
evolution-2.4.1.0.200510061830-0.snap.novell.0.1 when using backspace to delete
the mail addresses. Now the whole email address along with the comma is getting
selected when pressing the backspace.
Comment 4 Devashish Sharma 2005-10-07 10:17:30 UTC 
that is the fix for the bug, we are giving the capability to the user to delete
the entire address at once (comment #1). The only problem was that the comma was
not getting removed with the address.
So marking this as closed.
