Bug Description

Binary package hint: evolution

Steps to reproduce,
- Start evolution
- Compose email
- Put some contact name that is auto-completed in the 'to' field
- Put another contact name that is auto-completed in the 'cc' field
- Now cut the address in the 'to' field by selecting the name (through keyboard with shift+arrow keys) and doing Ctrl-x
- Press <tab> to bring focus to the 'cc' field
- Notice that if the cursor in the 'cc' field is at the beginning of the already entered contact name (this can be achieved with the Home key) and if you paste earlier cut contact name at that location, then the contact name is pasted, but both the names lose their special meaning (i.e. they are no longer underlined and are merely two name strings without email addresses associated with them).
- Instead if you press end key in the 'cc' field and then press Ctrl-v (after then comma) then the cut contact name is pasted appropriately (with email address and all).

The above behavior is observed even when the contact name is cut including a trailing comma.
