dragging several selected addresses to the BCC: field

[BAG]

I don't know what's changed, but I used to be able to drag a bunch of selected addresses in the address book to the BCC: (or other address field) in an email being composed.

Today, if I try to drag more than one address, it greys out most of the message and offers to add them as attachments.

Huh?

T'bird 128.2.3esr (64-bit) on W10

The silence is deafening. Is this perhaps the wrong place to ask?

Well it's nice to get an answer, but it's a confusing one. Can you or can you not reproduce the mess?

The referenced bug (1913600) seems to reproduce it quite nicely, down to the 0-length attachments one fewer than the number of address "dragged".

That seems to be marked closed, but I didn't notice any solution or work-around.

Under 128.2.3, the same malfunction is currently occurring with Thunderbird bêta

For information purposes general, in my opinion, 132 is target bêta
Bêta, this is a pre-prod, a concern resolved in beta, may be resolved with one of the next Thunderbird release updates (for example) 128

In the meantime, try, Writing messages with Toggle Contacts Sidebar (by way of illustration) https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/addressing-email#w_selecting-and-adding-recipients-from-contact...

I know I can select multiple addresses in the address book and click on Write.

But dragging multiple addresses to the email being written has always worked and is a bit more natural.

I don't understand the jargon above. This is apparently a newly introduced bug, to be fixed when?

Hello

132.0b1 currently and according to my tests, that's resolved

[BAG]

Forgive my unfamiliarity with the local jargon, but does that mean that an eventual (when?) update has fixed this bug?
