Can I have back the "people" icon for each addressee in the "To:" fields?

Now that I'm using the new version, 3.1, the icons that used to be at the beginning of the addressee fields are gone! I need them back, please! Now, to change or delete an address I must click and swipe the whole name to highlight it rather than, previously, I could click on the icon and highlight the entire name and make my changes in one fell swoop. Please bring back the the addressee icon! It's very helpful. Thanks.

I hadn't noticed that those icons had any useful purpose.

I use this add-on:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/address-close-button/?src=api

which adds an explicit delete "button" to each address entry.

You may also find that ctrl+a (on the keyboard) or a triple-click can be used to select all the text in an addressing box.
