In write email, addresses are not sorted for easy selection and often appear in red when found (V31.3).
A small 'feature'.... Using Thunderbird 31.3.0 on WIndows 7 and Windows 8 (2 different machines). In the 'Write' email window when trying to select addresses from the address book, the address list presented is not sorted. On typing the first letter of the address, the unsorted list is presented, on typing the second letter, the 2 letters are disaplayed in red. If you scroll down the list to find the wanted address, it can be selected and the email is sent ok (it just shows the address in red). Thanks.

Keep typing. The search now uses "contains" whereas in the past it used "starts with".
The red is a bug and of no real consequence so long as you are careful to accept the address as offered.
Of greater concern with the current version is that it reportedly doesn't always fill in the address you chose. I'm not sure what triggers this as I haven't been able to replicate it.
