- When importing, Display Name is not automatically filled, causing the
user portion of the email address to be used as the name.

- When importing a csv file, the file manager dialog opens a folder
instead of a file, pressing the down arrow makes the selection go up
(looks and acts very buggy).

- When importing csv contacts into TB, remapping using up/down is
extremely complicated and shuffles the other ones around.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Tools > Import
2. Select CSV File
3. Mapping tool shows up, select/align fields
4. Import
Actual Results:  
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.

Expected Results:  
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.

Original Bug:
Binary package hint: thunderbird

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).

Steps to reproduce:
1) Tools > Import
2) Select CSV File
3) Mapping tool shows up, select/align fields
4) Import

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.

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.

I don't understand this. It sounds like either a linux specific bug or a
ubuntu specific bug. After testing with a version of Thunderbird
supplied by mozilla if the issue is still there, please file a new bug
with clear steps to repeat, and possibly a screenshot or two.

Covered by Bug 95087 and others.


Resolving as invalid as we only generally deal with one issue per bug, and the ones raised are either dupes or need a clear separate issue raised.
