Sounds to me like there is an issue with 2.2.

Yes, meanwhile added to the Known Issues section of the Release Notes:
<http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/seamonkey2.2/#issues>

The issue was caused by a change that Thunderbird developers made to
shared code. I tried to address the whole issue in time, but have not
received all necessary reviews yet (in fact one has been pending for
over a month now). Then the code change made it to SM 2.2, no-one
noticed the regression and now we're in a position where the address
book is partly broken since SM 2.2 and fully broken on trunk. :-(


Jens, what do you estimate how long it will take to have this major
flaw worked on and fixed with a quick new release of a stable
version ? It might otherwise be such a major issue that many would
actually (be forced and have to) leave sm.

Hpw long do you estimate it will take you to roll back to 2.1 until the issue is fixed? Leaving SM sounds pretty melodramatic, given that there are only a few minor security fixes in 2.2, not some gaping holes.

I will say that's why I install each version in a directory and then point a symbolic link at the one I want to use. Don't know what Windows folk do for slinks, there is something, I know.

taken the first step. The steps are many, but finite in number, and if
we persevere we will reach our destination.  -me, 2010
