79939 - From: dropdown list has no effect on LDAP autocomplete settings

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(MailNews Core :: Composition, defect, P3)

Description

[Hong Kwon]

If a user has specified per-account LDAP autocomplete settings, and invokes a 
composition window and changes their identity using the From: dropdown list, 
their per-account settings aren't correctly propagated.  The settings at time of 
composition invocation will be used. 

To reproduce, you need two different mail accounts with different autocomplete 
settings.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Specify a global autocomplete server in prefs.
2. Override autocomplete for test account 1 and set to "None".
3. In Messenger, click on test account 2 in the folder pane.
4. Click on New Msg.
5. In the New Msg window, change the From: dropdown list to test account 1.
6. Type in a name.

Expected Results

No autocompletion occurs.

Actual Results

Autocompletion occurs.  Autocomplete preferences for the account should be 
propagated when the From: dropdown list is changed.

when autocompleting with test account2, we have both AbAutocompleteSession and 
LDAPAutocompleteSession.
when autocompleting with test account 1, we should have only 
AbAutocompleteSession but we have both AB and LDAP sessions even though we are 
not calling getService on the LDAPAutocompletSession. Looks like the sessions 
list is not getting updated.
