This is actually a few bugs/undesired behavior in 1...

I have a few contacts in my addressbook with multiple email addresses.  When
selecting them in the contact list view a dialog appears asking me to "Select
email address" with radio buttons next to each of their email addresses...

Here is the first bit of undesired behavior - I have no idea why the
application is asking me this.  There is no apparent reasoning why I must
immediately choose one of the contacts email addresses, and no information is
given as to what I am doing with the email address I choose - I could be
setting it as default, deleting it, sending spam to it....

Once I click "ok" the bug bit of this arises - I am immediately greeted with
the exact same prompt.  It seems to like to re-open itself either 1, 3, or 5
times before finally going away.  Sometimes it will re-trigger itself after a
few seconds.  (Probably due to some interaction on my part, although I haven't
been able to narrow it down yet.)

The final bit of this whole issue comes in when I select multiple contacts at
once and one or more of them have multiple email addresses, as the issue
triggers for each contact with several addresses.  When selecting several
contacts the dialog likes to re-open a lot more as well.


As far as troubleshooting, I have removed the second email address and all
works fine until I re-add it.  I have taken a contact with no email and added
several emails and the bug rears its head.  This is a somewhat annoying bug for
me, but potentially a deal-breaker for anyone with lots of contacts with
multiple email addresses per.
