1111630 - Email address Autocomplete adds wrong address

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1107844

(Thunderbird :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[Neal L Martin]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:34.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/34.0
Build ID: 20141125180439

Steps to reproduce:

When typing the name of an individual, Autocomplete will put the name and address in the To: field but will oftentimes enter a wrong address.  

Example: Ann Martin <email address>, gets confused with Mark Hoffmann <email address> because typing "Ann" will key on the "ann" of Hoffmann.


Actual results:

The email address starts out with the Ann Martin address but autocomplete will insert the Mark Hoffmann address when I hit Enter.


Expected results:

Autocomplete should key on the first name only.

Likely a duplicate of bug 970456, which was fixed on trunk and on alpha and beta channels.

Which is dupe of bug 1107844, in the process of being fixed by patch in bug 1043310.
