BlackBerry: Email Bug from RIM

I found this interesting bug BB has for versions before 4.6 and here it is:

There are two possible options in the menu list to delete the address in email address fields. One is "delete field" and the other one is "clear field". "clear field" does not always show up in the menu list depending on how's the address like. If the address is only selectable as ONE whole content instead of as text (which is able to be deleted character by character), the option of "clear field" won't show up.

The bug happens when users 'delete' the address using 'clear field', what RIM does is, the address won't show in the field, however when the email is sent, the address got clear-fielded is still an address to which the email sent. This bug only happens with "Reply" functions. (RIM's bug!)

Why it is not noticeable is because that when users type in the addresses, most of the cases, the addresses shown are selectable only as ONE content. I believe RIM has some secret internal method does that, which is not revealed to 3rd party developers.
