Copying in the Contact Preview Pane Copies the Whole vCard

[Stu Hood]

1. Select a portion of text in the Contact preview pane
- Right clicking it does not bring up a menu to let you copy.
- ctrl+c puts the whole vCard for that entry into your clipboard (see bottom)

This doesn't seem very user friendly at all... the preview is much more useful when you can quickly copy out a phone number or address.
