"Select contact to share" bug with Marshmallow (MM)



When in Gallery and viewing a picture, if the share button is selected and then Messages is selected, instead of the normal behavior of attaching the picture to a message and opening the message in edit mode, a popup appears which says "Select contact to share" which offers the two choices between new contact or existing contact.

If existing contact is selected however it does not allow to select between alternate phone numbers or e-mail addresses for the contact and will automatically use the default number (or e-mail).

A suggested solution was that it is related to Voice over LTE setting which can be disabled in the dialer app.

Have seen posts on other forums about this and it appears to be on T-Mobile only devices. I'm also suspicious if perhaps it could be related to T-Mobile somehow trying to track who you are sending messages to? It wouldn't surprise me as they seem to be doing other creepy things like tracking all websites you visit.
