Select any address and right-clicking, choose \"Sign/Verify Message\".\r\n\r\nDialog pops up. Enter msg. Click Sign. Always get \"Address not found\" message, shows address and it appears correct.\r\n\r\nCome back a few minutes later and different (more, ~20) addresses are in list and they're different from when first created wallet. These ones work for signing.\r\n\r\nNow appears when creating a new wallet the addresses from previously loaded wallet do not get cleared out until after sync'ing or some other long process. So any operation is confusing and error prone.\r\n\r\nWallet should clear UI contents upon creation for privacy reasons and just generally not confusing the heck out of people. I could have selected copied/pasted an address in my new wallet and given it to someone without realizing it was from another wallet.
