Address book
After opening the address book if I click on the scroll bar an edit screen immediately opens on the first address in my list. This appears to be new. Is there a way so stop this? If I wanted to edit an address I have always double clicked it and it opens. This appears to be a change for the sake of change and is not needed and inconvient since it greatly reduces the amount of addresses shown by about half. Also I do not need to edit the first address. After the edit panel opens I have not found a way to go back to the complete list except clicking Personal Address Book and then clicking Contacts, but then as soon as I click the scroll bar I am back where I stated. Bad design.

It 'sounds like' you may be in horizontal view mode. Try switching to vertical view, as I think that displays list more easily.
I was not aware there was a horizontal view. My entries are in a vertiacl list so I do not think that is the issue. The list displays with a vertical screll bar. If I click ththe scroll bar the first address is opened with an edit screen. That is the issue.
What you can do is to reduce the area of the offending part by dragging it down. Or you can install the Cardbook add-on that does the displaying differently (the detail is to the right of the list and can be completely hidden) - note that after importing the address book into the Cardbook database you may have to do some reorg work. But as it does not touch the adress book, if you are not happy with it you don't risk anything.
