385107 - Autocomplete suggestions list while typing in "To:" recipients does not disappear when using TAB to quickly move focus to subject field

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

[Alex Potanin]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; NetBSD i386; en-US; rv:1.8.1.4) Gecko/20070602 Firefox/2.0.0.4
Build Identifier: version 2.0.0.0 (20070514)

Most times (not always reproduceable) when I start Thunderbird and click "compose", then enter part of the name (Stua instead of Stuart for example), the name completes, but there are still other choices in the list box below. I then click TAB, enter subject, click TAB, enter message, but the list box of the possible To completions stays and doesn't go away. Sometimes even after I sent the message - still have the listbox on my screen. I have to click on it and select something from it using a mouse to make it go away.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start Thunderbird
2. Click Compose
3. Enter part of name of receipient
4. TAB to move to subject, leaving the list box of possible completions there and the requried name completely completed
5. Type subject, TAB to go to body, carry on.
Actual Results:  
The listbox of possible completions stays.

Expected Results:  
The listbox goes away, since the name was completed already.

I think I am using all the defaults that come with Thunderbird on NetBSD.

Tag choses one of the auto complete suggestions for me, so I never get into that situation.

I can reproduce this. you must tab quickly, before before the autocomplete can finish.

perhaps a duplicate?
