1026394 - TB 31 - On new message compose windows, contacts autocomplete isn't working properly

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 966053

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

[Mihovil Stanic [:Mikeyy - L10n HR]]

Attachment: compose_contact_autocomplete.png

TB 31 beta 1

LDIF contact example, extracted from my addressbook:
dn: cn=Tester Lastname, Tester Test,mail=[e-mail]
objectclass: top
objectclass: person
objectclass: organizationalPerson
objectclass: inetOrgPerson
objectclass: mozillaAbPersonAlpha
givenName: Tester Test
sn: Tester Lastname
cn: Tester Lastname, Tester Test
mail: [e-mail]
modifytimestamp: 0


Reproduce:
1. Compose new message
2. Enter "tester" in first To: field
3. You will get autocomplete suggestion for "tester Lastname, Tester Test <[e-mail]>"
4. Press ENTER

Expected: Contact will be in first To: field
Result: Contact was splitted into 2 contacts, first one being contact last name, and second one his first name + email address.
If I try to send email now, I get error saying:
"Invalid RFC821 mailbox specification.. Check mail receiver "tester Lastname" and try again."

Picture attached.

I forget who was working on the autocomplete issues, but this sounds similar to the one we had for normal autocomplete.

This should be a dupe of bug 966053.

Absolutely this is a serious issue and needs swift resolution. (I'm seeing something like this myself) But blocker in bugzilla means blocks developer work, so is a bit too strong for this issue.
