Call out of recent call list can switch to wrong number (reproducable)

I yesterday stumbled over a really silly bug that can cause you much trouble. If you have some contacts with same name in your contact list (out of mistake or older numbers of a friend for example like in my case) a call out of the recent call list does not make sure it calls the number that called you. It seems to pick the contact name and searches in the contact list for the number. This took the wrong number for me.

This is a serious problem also that it shouldn't affect many.

Steps to reproduce: 1. Add two contacts with same name and different numbers you have both access to. 2. Call from one number. Hang up if your jolla got the call 3. Answer call from recent-call-list. Or just look to which contact the entry got linked - Im not sure if this is enough. 4. If the outgoing call get sent to the wrong number, thats the problem, otherwise start from #2 with the other phone-number

I yesterday stumbled over a really silly bug that can cause you much trouble.

Update 2014-03-17:

With several numbers of one contact and with deactivated fast-call out of recent-call-list there is no chance to see which phone-number called you. The phone number has to be highlighted and on top of the list or the only entry. If fast-call is activated the right phone-number get called.

I'm not quiet sure if the right phone-number also would get called for the initial problem I described if you have fast-call activated and the bug only got introduced for the contact-list linking. I guess it is the case.
