Bug report: Missing address in the address book

[coinjedi]

I've noticed that I have an address in my wallet that I can receive coins, but the address is not in my address book. I don't know how I can give more information without giving out my wallet.dat. Is it a known issue?

This is probably a change address. It's a feature.

So how come I obtained that address if it is something internal? I want to give it a name to tidy up my transaction history.

Because that's how bitcoin is designed to work.

Can you specify which client you're using? In the default GUI client change addresses don't appear in the list of transactions so you're not supposed to care about them.

At the cost of a bit of privacy, can you post the address in question?

This address appears in the transactions list but not in the address book. As far I remember I generated the address using the  default GUI Mac client. That wallet is on my other computer, I can post the address later.
