101226 - addressing pane of compose window hides entries upon scrolling

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 96899

(MailNews Core :: LDAP Integration, defect)

Description

[Robert Poor]

NB: This is likely related to Bug 88427 ("addressing pane of mail compose window
sticks").

To reproduce: 
[1] In Preferences->Mail and Newsgroups->Addressing, under
    Address Autocompletion, turn on "Local Address Books" (only).
    [This is what may distinguish this bug from 88427.]
[2] Open a compose window.
[3] Pick any address from your Local Address book, type it in N times,
    where N is large enough to make the first address scroll off the top
    of the addressing panel.

Observe: 
Upon scrolling back to the top of the addressing panel, the first entry has
vanished (the line is blank), but you can't click in or edit the field.  (The
field is still there, because if you go ahead and deliver the message, it is
correctly received by the "vanished" recipient.)

Note: There may be a deeper bug than what's described here.  I have observed,
but can't replicate, a crashing case where the "vanished" entry reprinted itself
as "null" just before crashing Mozilla.

I have that, too. More precisely: All addresses ever scrolled out of view appear
empty when you scroll back. It doesn't matter if the address is from the local
abook or not. Also, the address are still "there" in that the mail will be
correctly delivered, and they also show up on the message in the "send" folder.

This looks like a UI bug to me.

I've seen this bug a while ago but I dont seem to be able to reproduce this 
anymore. May be this is fixed.
Robert, Can you try with the latest build and see if you can still reproduce 
this problem

This bug no longer manifests itself in 0.9.5.  I'd be happy to see this one
resolved as duplicate of 96899, or whatever dispensation you see fit.  Thanks!
