Body: <p>It would make sense that if Bob uses Sharon's address, when Sharon changes her address, Bob's address changes. However, in my experience that isn't the case or isn't the case all the time, unless you edit Bob's address.</p>
  <p>What's supposed to happen? How and when is it supposed to happen?</p>

Comments.Text: I was wrong above, the contact with the master address updating their address works fine, it's when the contact who uses another contact's address updates their address that things break.
