Nautilus-sendto always uses first entry in the combo-box

I confirm this in Ubuntu Hardy heron. Only first email is used in combo.

Duplicate bug here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus-sendto/+bug/192153

And this also appears to be a duplicate: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus-sendto/+bug/212691

Workaround: Leave the field empty and enter recipients later when the composer has started.

Thanks for your bug report. This bug has been reported to the developers of the software. You can track it and make comments here: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=538189

The thread in Bugzilla mentioned above has the developer suggesting the user try version 1.0.0 to which the user wanted to know where to find an Ubuntu package.. The reply was to talk to Ubuntu. Ping to Bugzilla.Gnome... pong to ubuntu.. Now what?

My current version of Nautilus-SendTo in Hardy is
nautilus-sendto:
  Installed: 0.13.2-0ubuntu1
  Candidate: 0.13.2-0ubuntu1
  Version table:
 *** 0.13.2-0ubuntu1 0
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com hardy/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

I'm not overly familiar with the versoning numbers in ubuntu, but at first glance it appears the Nautilus-sendto in Hardy is WAY behind.

Although not a total show stopper, this bug is very irritating and slows workflow.

not a constructive comment, no the ubuntu package is no way behind, the 1 version was not available before hardy and has been uploaded to intrepid weeks ago

Maybe someone with Intrepid alpha can test this then and report back.

Sorry Sebastien, didn't mean to be negative. It's just to someone outside the development loop entirely, version numbers don't always make sense. 0.13.2-0ubuntu1 appears to be a number much smaller than 1.0.0. With that in mind it brings visions of several other releases between 0.13.2 and 1.0.0....

Any chance there will be a backport fix for this one to Hardy LTS?

the change can be backported yes, but it would make easier if somebody was looking at what change is required and testing the backport to hardy

This update was just now installed on my system.

There is one problem still there though but I guess we need to create a new report for that, if you have a contact with two or more addresses and select any one but the first, the first will still be the one used.

I can also confirm that this is not fixed since last update:

$ apt-cache policy nautilus-sendto

nautilus-sendto:
  Installed: 0.13.2-0ubuntu2
  Candidate: 0.13.2-0ubuntu2
  Version table:

This changelog entry:

* debian/patches/90_from_svn_use_correct_email.patch:
    - change from svn to use the correct email addresses (lp: #210917)

Is still ineffective. The first email address for any person with multiple address is always selected regardless of the one you pick.

The patch has solved one problem and left another remaining.

Before it chose the wrong person if you had two persons matching the same criteria and you selected the latter of the two. It also garbled the email address so the to: address was mangled once in Evolution.

the change was not supposed to fix this bug and that's why it has not been closed yet

the bug has been fixed upstream now

the fix will be uploaded to hardy too

This bug was fixed in the package nautilus-sendto - 1.0.1-0ubuntu1

---------------
nautilus-sendto (1.0.1-0ubuntu1) intrepid; urgency=low

  * New upstream version:
    - Fix e-mail selection in the Evolution plugin when a single contact
      has multiple addresses (lp: #195580)
    - Fix sending from nautilus when the path contains an ampersand

Accepted into -proposed, please test and give feedback here. Please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

could anybody confirm that the update is working correctly so the bug fix can go to hardy-updates?

This is almost fixed in proposed.

1. If I use only the mouse (after the auto-complete list appears) everything works fine.

2. If I tab out of the email field after selecting an address and then press enter it works fine.

3. If I press enter after selecting an address while the address field is still focused, it still selects the first address instead of the one I selected.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Right click -> send to...
2. press TAB (to focus email field)
3. type 'mar' in the email field
4. use arrow keys to select second 'Maria' in the autocomplete list
5. press enter to select the address
6. press enter again to send the file
7. The first address is filled in in Evolution instead of the one I selected.

the new comment seems a corner case and a new issue, it should not likely block the candidate update

Thanks for testing. Can you please open a new bug report about the remaining case? Thanks!
