Further to comment #8 I'm closing this as there was no response after
nearly two months and the last affected release reached end-of-life over
five years ago.
If anyone sees this issue in any current or future release then please
reopen the relevant tasks and advise which releases are affected.
Ubuntu 15.10 (wily) reached end-of-life on July 28, 2016.
Ubuntu 17.04 (zesty) reached end-of-life on January 13, 2018.
The upstream bug was closed on 2019-11-12 as "RESOLVED INCOMPLETE", as
insufficient information was provided and it seems that the GNOME
developers could not reproduce the bug.
I can confirm this bug for evolution 3.22.6-1ubuntu1 amd64 on a Ubuntu 17.04
With the German (Switzerland) keyboard layout I need [Alt Gr] to type an @
symbol (!)
I reported a bug on gnome/evolution, too:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=784553
Both the focus loss and the added comma
BTW does anybody know a workaround that still works?

I figured that the unexpected comma, is actually inserted on purpose when the
"CC" or "TO" input fields get focus.
Though it might be a bit surprising that Evolution inserts a comma
automatically (even when no valid mail exists in the input field), that is
actually a feature.
The root cause of
I also investigated the "focus" theory a bit further:
// Find evolution window id
$ xdotool getmouselocation
// Focus the "TO" input field, type some letters follow by [AltGr] + [2]

$ xev -id 23181333 -event keyboard -event focus
