When sending an email to multiply recipiants, using address autocompletion, all the address boxes convert to the name in the first box

I use Thunderbird for my email. When sending an email to multiple recipients, I use autocompletion from my local address book. When I select an additional recipient, the name initially appears correctly in the address box. Each time I drop down to add another recipient, the names in each box all revert to the name in the first box. I've used Thunderbird for 2 years and this just started today. Also, the cursor and names in the address box appear now in red instead of black. Hopefully you can solve this problem.

Thank you, bradoc

There are some evil bugs in the current version of Thunderbird. You may find it works better if you click with the mouse, or move down with the arrow keys and click or use tab. IIRC, there's an issue with use of the Enter key. Or maybe the other way round ; please experiment. It's one of those frustrating bugs that seems to affect everyone but me.

You can download older versions here:

I believe 31.2.0 is free of this particular issue. 24.6 seems to be a popular choice for those who dislike recent changes in the Composition window UI.
