Just sent an email to the wrong person due to this bug. Here's the situation:
I have the following two people in my Personal Address Book: First: Zhichao Last: Zhang Display: Jack Zhang Nickname: Jack Email: [email protected] First: Jack Last: Lastname2 Display: Lastname2, Jack Nickname: (blank) Email: [email protected] My email address is [email protected] (same company as first Jack) I occasionally send email to Jack from Company 2, but (obviously since I've added a nickname for Jack number 1) when I type "Jack" in the To: field, I want email to go to the Jack in my own company. As you can see, he has taken an American name (Jack) to go by instead of his real name (Zhichao). Well, when I type "Jack" in the To: field, Thunderbird only gives me one option, Jack from Company 2! If I want to send email to Jack #1 I have to type "zh" and select his name from the multiple choices, or type "zzc" and his email is the only choice. It seems Thunderbird completely ignores the nickname, as it doesn't even offer Jack Zhang. Ok, further testing reveals if I type slowly ("Jac", then wait) both Jacks are provided as options. If I then further type the "k", both Jacks remain as options for me to choose from. I would like AT A MINIMUM for both Jacks to be options if I type "Jack" quickly, and of course I agree with everyone above that Jack Zhang should be the first option when typing "Jack". -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/956618 Title: Nickname not over-riding names in email address To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/thunderbird/+bug/956618/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
