Description Karsten Bräckelmann 2006-04-20 22:29:16 UTC
The To, Cc and Bcc fields are broken WRT names containing commas and in that case barely useable at all.

Steps to reproduce:
* Have a mail sent To: Surname, Firstname <user@host.net> for example,
  a list Cc'ed.
* Reply To All, try removing that previous To recipient.

The Cc: field in the composer will look like this:
  "Surname, Firstname" <user@host.net>, list@server.org

When you try to remove anything but the mailing list, moving the cursor right before 'list@', select the unwanted by Shift-Pos1 and try to remove it by Del, nothing is removed. Instead, that stupid logic selects a different part of that string (from comma to comma), dismissing what I explicitely marked.

Similar things happen for plain del.


Note: There is a related bug somewhere, filed by me prviosuly. That widget should not try to be smart. It is not. *sigh*

Comment 2 Srinivasa Ragavan 2006-07-18 05:49:14 UTC
guenther, Im not able to see this in stable/head. Am I trying the wrong way? I Shift-Selelected 'list@' , 'list@server.org' but all of them works for me. Can you help me reproduce it?
Comment 3 Srinivasa Ragavan 2007-02-14 06:23:45 UTC
Guenther, the comma selection is removed now. Does the bug still holds good? 
Comment 4 Akhil Laddha 2008-08-18 08:23:40 UTC
Guenther, ping

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug; however, closing due to lack of
response of the reporter, sorry. if you still see this issue with a current
release of evolution (2.24.x or later), please reopen. thanks in advance.
