Steps to reproduce:

Autocomplete behaviour for new message recipients has changed in 31.2.0:
1. Matching is done on domain part first, and then on the name,

So if I have 3 addressbook entries for the domain name @maximal.com
Malcolm Ritchie <malcolm.ritchie@maximal.com>,
Leina Rin <leina.rin@maximal.com>, and
Pallav Goh <pallav.goh@maximal.com> and I want to email Malcolm, Leina will be the first in the list, despite the fact that I almost always email Malcolm, and almost never email Leina. Additionally the "mal" in maximal.com is highlighted and entries are sorted alphabetically, rather than by frequency. 
2. Before the update it used to be possible to just type in "Mal" and tab over to the Subject field or start typing your message without having to wait for the choices to appear. Now it is not possible and address will just say "mal" if I tab away without selecting a recipient. This has become extremely annoying and time consuming when you're writing 100 emails a day?
