Mail::Address not parsing correctly emails with comma

I'm trying to use Mail::Address to parse an email address, however the output is not as expected:

Mail::Address.new('Arnold, Roa <[email protected]>').address
=> "Arnold"

What is the problem and what alternatives do I have?

I've created an issue on the github project: https://github.com/mikel/mail/issues/1219

In the meanwhile I created this monkey patch (which is not a good practice and should be avoided):

class Mail::Address
  class << self
    def new(value = nil)
      if value.is_a? String
        value = value.gsub(',', ' ')
      end

      super(value)
    end
  end
end

This works, not sure why the comma is there:

Mail::Address.new('Arnold, Roa <[email protected]>'.gsub(',','')).address
