Duplicated addresses? #3384

I'm on version v0.8.5.0-gef14a26-beta - from deb.

After some cleanup I noticed that some addresses get kinda-duplicates:

The "explain" address was created by normally clicking "new address". "ulek.net" on the other hand was created by importprivkey.

In both cases, I wanted to create/import one key/account. But somehow (after some time, not immediately) I got two.

What's more - these additional accounts do not show in listaccounts:

20:22:34 listaccounts

20:22:34{
"Bazowy adres" : 0.00000000,
"Od Illiego" : 0.00000000,
"explain" : 0.00000000,
"ulek.net" : 0.00000000
}

Now sure what else I can show to help debug the problem - if there is anything, please let me know.

Do not combine use of labels in the GUI and the accounts feature. Due to historical reasons these use the same wallet data in different ways. This causes strange conflicts. You won't lose coins due to it, but don't expect it to do anything sensible either.

Sorry, I have no idea what you are talking about. I checked "listaccounts" only after I saw duplicated labels, with different numbers in bitcoin-qt. Again, to reiterate: I created an address by pressing "new address" in receive window, added it a label. After some time I got another address, with the same label, added. Same thing happened when I loaded privkey using "importprivkey" from debug window.

The problem is not in what listaccounts shows, but rather in duplicated addresses in normal window, created by who-knows-what.

So you are not using any of the account functionality through RPC? And purely using the GUI, except for importprivkey?

BTW: it appears that the addresses are not duplicated. There are just multiple addresses with the same label.

Yes. The only thing I did not-clicking was importprivkey. And I know the address is not the same, but still - why is it there? How come it showed?

Don't know, it does sound like a kind of bug. It shouldn't be creating new addresses automatically.

Might be an issue while editing the label. Then after restarting the client there are suddenly more addresses. I remember a few problems with the address list have been fixed in 0.9, this may be one of them.
