Yes, in all version of OS X except 10.7, Address Book (Contacts) had a 
3-column view - Groups on the left, Contacts in the middle, and contact 
details on the right. 10.7's Address Book had a "book" view, where only 
Contacts was always shown. Either groups or details was hidden at any 
given time. Clicking a little red ribbon would toggle between them.

Remember?

Here's 10.8's Contacts - see how the red ribbon is gone and the 3 
columns are back. http://tinyurl.com/mnlalod

Not just bugs - intentional changes that Apple insisted were "working as 
expected/designed" all throughout the 10.7 beta testing process. 
Believe me, I was there. Many of these were reverted by 10.8.
