[Bug 600755] Re: Contact import mapping problem

[David Bensimon]

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: thunderbird
  
- Cannot map to "Name" field for primary Address Book view. "Name" appears
- to be derived from the 1st half of "email-address". Overriding the fact
- that First & Last Name of the extract.
+ When importing contacts into thunderbird's address book, if the record
+ has a First Name and a Last Name, these do net automatically get
+ concatenated in Display Name (something which thunderbird usually does).
  
- I.e. Imported address book does not show First + Last name -address book
- view. First+Last name is not an  optional column (potential bug).
- Instead a column #1 is called 'Name'. Similarly if you try to edit
- contact with no "Name." You will see the First+Last name already exists.
+ Steps to reproduce:
+ 1) Tools > Import
+ 2) Select CSV File
+ 3) Mapping tool shows up, select/align fields
+ 4) Import
  
- Scenario: Imported contact from Gmail (CSV format). Enabled (checked);
- First, Last, Email,2ndEmail & phone.
+ What happens:
+ All contact names are the user portion of the email address. Example for bsmith at server.com, bsmith is the display name used, even though "Bob" is the first name and "Smith" is the last name.
  
- Canonical Case re-opened due to case #11066
+ Expected:
+ If the import tool sees a First Name and Last Name and no display name, it should offer to fill in the Display Name automatically.
