Error: Can't change Identity before Sending.

[virtual-id2eran@…]

When sending emails to certain addresses, I always get this error: "Error: Can't change Identity before Sending.". Same when saving as draft.

The problem has been present for (at least) many months, including Virtual Identity 0.6.8.

If I click the SMTP server box and choose "Default", then I can send or save the message (even though the SMTP server was *already* at "Default"). Likewise if I choose a different Virtual ID.

The JavaScript? Error Console is empty.

Here's the debug log (with names search&replaced; the original names and addresses don't have any funny characters or unusual spaces):

Debug log (same as in initial report)

Hi,

it's a problem with some space around your Full Name in Thinderbirds Accoutn Settings. Please remove them or use the ​preview-Version of 0.7.0. Duplicate of #281,

Regards, Rene

Confirmed, there was an extra space after the Full Name, which I somehow missed. Thanks for the quick response and sorry for the dup report.
