Bug Description

20130918.1

TEST CASE:
1. Load the Contacts app and create a new contact
2. Add 1 email address to the contact and save it
3. Add a second email address, but press the + button twice so there are 2 blank email address lines shown
4. Enter the second email address on the bottom email address line, so there is a blank email field above it (see screen shot)
5. Save the contact

EXPECTED RESULT:
The contact should save successfully, including the 2 email addresses and discarding the blank email address line

ACTUAL RESULT:
The Contacts app can completely freeze (see screen shot attached). This doesn't happen every time, but is reproducible ~50% of the time. Other times the contact will save but the second email address will be discarded.

*** UPDATE 25/09/2013 ***

build 20130924.1

This behaviour is also reproducible using phone number, IM and address fields. If there is a blank item above the new one, then the new one will fail to save.

Easiest way to solve the problem would be to stop the UI from being able to add another new field if there is a blank one there already.
