wrong contact name is displayed for phone number

[Georges Thill]

In my address book I have two contacts with very similar numbers. (last 6 digits changed in the example)

Person A: [phone]
Person B: [phone]

When I receive a call or try to compose a message to Person B, the phone always displays the name of Person A. The same happens in call records.

The only way to have the name of Person B displayed upon calls or message sending is to delete Person A from the address book.

This is very strange, because phone numbers are prefix codes, thus ignoring a leading digit in a phone number seems like the wrongest thing to do in this context.

The bug is still present in the current MX4 image (revision 3)

Can you check if this is bug with libphonenumber or parsing we are doing? Perhaps the move to libphonenumber everywhere will fix it?

When ContactWatcher performs a search for "[phone]", address-book-service is returning both PersonA and PersonB.
ContactWatcher uses always the first match.

This app also affects me using OTA-5 on my N4. Sometimes I will receive a message or phone call and my Ubuntu touch device tells me it is from a one person when actually it is from another. It seems to happen now and again, not every time. Usually, it is when I start a conversation/call with someone, and when they reply, it comes through from the person I was texting/calling before them.
