267384 - The first list entry is always selected from the dropdown box

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

[Damien O'Donoghue]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0)
Build Identifier: 

When typing the first few letters of a name, a list of matches appears in a 
dropdown box.
Using the 'down arrow', I can successfully select any entry in the list and 
pressing ENTER adds it to the list of recipients.
If I use the mouse to select an entry, most* times, the first entry in the list 
is selected.

*See Additional information

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Type a character in the 'To' field that will result in more than 1 match
2. Use the mouse to select an entry in the list that is not the first
3. Left click to select the list entry

Actual Results:  
The first entry in the list was selected

Expected Results:  
The selected list entry should have been added.

1. Assuming I typed 'ch' in 'To' field.
2. The following dropdown list was displayed:
  nita chow <nita.chow@blah>
  chad down <chad.down@blah>
  mitch walters <mitch.walters@blah>
3. I selected 'chad down' using the  mouse.
4. nita chow was added to the 'To' field.

*I could reproduce the problem whenever I created a new email, but after I 
added a few more To or CC fields to the email, the problem seemed to resolve 
itself.

NOTE: Using version 0.8 (20040913)

I am unable to reproduce this symptom with TB 0.9, Win2K.
