Address Book in my Mac / Cannot move contacts from groups properly

Hello,

this is my first post in this forum, hello everyone !

I got a quick query about Address Book in my Mac.

In my Address Book I have 2 Groups: Work & Private.
When I move a contact from Work to Private it makes a double entry by NOT removing the contact from its original group. When I try to delete the entry in the original book it does automatically delete the entry in the new group also.

I tried to find for a solution but no luck. Is this normal or there is a workaround ?

thanks in advance

What you are experiencing is normal. Think of it this way: your full list in Address Book is all of your contacts. You can split them into as many sub-groups as you want, and each of those entries are only aliases of the entries in the main book. A given contact can be in many groups, or only one. You can take an entry out of a group and it will remain in the main index, but if you take it out of the main index, you remove it altogether. Does this help?

I see your point and I get the concept.
