Vista - Bug in selecting a mail recipient from contacts list

Repro:

First, ensure that you have enough contacts so that they will not all fit in
the contacts list window without scrolling.

1. Create a new email message.
2. Click to the "To:" button to bring up the contacts list (or select
Tools->Select from contacts...).
3. In the Contacts List (window is titled "Send an E-mail"), scroll down
through the contacts and select one that was not originally visible when the
windows first came up (i.e. it was not visible until you scrolled down).

At this point, notice that the scroll bar has been brought back to the top
of the list of contacts, and the first contact appears to be selected.

Expected behavior: The contact clicked on in step 3 should be selected. The
scroll bar should not jump.

4. Select the contact you originally selected in step 3.
5. Press the To: button to try to add the selected contact to the recipient
list.

Notice that the button depresses, but the contact is not added to the
recipient list.

Expected behavior: Pressing the To: button should add the contact to the
recipient list.

6. Press the Cancel button.

Notice that the cancel button depresses, but does nothing. In fact, none of
the buttons work at this point. Pressing the <ESC> key will dismiss the
window.

Expected behavior: Pressing cancel should dismiss the window.

You can work around this issue by selecting a contact that is visible when
the contact list first opens before scrolling down.

That bug has been discussed here several times over the past few
weeks. I understand MS has indicated that this problem is already
fixed in a newer build they have in-house.
