Are you aware that Thunderbird doubles addresses dragged from the Address Book to the Inbox and that the buttons move the Address Book addresses wrong?

When I try to drag my email addresses from the Address Book to "Write" for sending a message, the program duplicates it in the "To" box wasting my time. Also, the Address Book duplicates an address in the list when I close the "New Contact" box. Since the Address Book makes me go back to the beginning of my email list each time, I don't delete the duplicate because it would waste my time. These duplications are intermittent, not all of the time, but happen often enough to be irritating. Please fix them. Thanks. In addition, are you aware that the up and down arrows on the Address Book's right side actually make it go the opposite ways?

please provide screenshots / error logs of this behavior .


screenshots via any tool of choice (personally I love shutter)

upload directly with the built in tool here or link to somewhere like imgur (https://imgur.com)

For Logs: (assuming from user agent info that you are on win 7/8)

Main Menu (Windows Icon) > Settings > Event Viewer > Scroll through / search for anything form Mozilla / Thunderbird in that log more specifically anything with warnings or critical failure mentions.

Version 45.1 claims to have fixed this. Have you upgraded?
