After upgrade, my addressee box only displays one address. I went back two versions and it's still the same.

My addressee box used to allow multiple lines. When I entered an address and pressed <ENTER> it would automatically go to another line. The slider would allow me to move up / down the list. After the upgrade this morning, When I press <ENTER> the line I entered disappears and I can enter another address but when I display both, they are in separate Addressee boxes, not separate lines within one box. I went back to two previous versions to try to get the old format but neither worked. How can I get back to one addressee box with multiple lines? I've warned the others not to upgrade but unfortunately they are all on auto upgrade.

Chosen solution

It scrolls up out of sight, doesn't it?

If you hover the mouse cursor over the addressing box, a tooltip appears summarizing the entered addresses.

I figured out what was wrong. I don't like the new format but I'll live with it. It seems clumsy.

I take it back. Nothing happens when I hover. When I enter multiple addresses, I can't even arrow up. I have to <CTL-TAB> thru the addresses and the "To", "CC" boxes. Or use the mouse. This is terrible. Sometmes to even see the addresses, I have to enlarge the address area manually. It's unreliable. Even my wife is pissed. She says that sometimes when she selects an address from the option box, the wrong address appears. So she always has to check before she sends. And going back to a previous version of T'Bird now doesn't change the Address Area. Something has been changed by 31.3.0 that doesn't depend on the software. Btw, she's on xp and i'm on Win7. This has got to be affecting many people.

I also tried the beta version 34.0. Same problem I've attached an email to prove the point.
