1041462 - mail address autofill has problems with encoded names

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Composition, defect)

Description

[Flex]

Attachment: sm_composing_with_umlauts.png

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; WOW64; rv:29.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/29.0 SeaMonkey/2.26 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20140415200419

Steps to reproduce:

I started composing a mail and entering the mail address.


Actual results:

Seamonkey suggested mails that have been used before. The name of someone whose name was written with umlauts still was shown as full code.


Expected results:

Name shuould be shown properly and without codes.

I attached a screenshot (and made the adresses black there). Don't know when this started, maybe it also happened after updating Seamonkey. Many names with umlauts are shown correctly, but sometimes not. I had this problem on different computers.

WE might need to port
Bug 1012398 - AutoCompletion doesn't take capitalization from address book entry when tabbing to complete

I'm not sure why you think those are related. Seamonkey doesn't even use toolkit autocomplete yet (which those bugs are specific to).
