1129295 - Addressbook lookup too slow / problematic

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1012397

(Thunderbird :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[Brian Wright]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.10; rv:35.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/35.0
Build ID: 20150122214805

Steps to reproduce:

Type in an name email address field and quickly press enter
Partial name remains, no lookup occurs


Actual results:

Name lookup did not complete properly


Expected results:

It seems that if you type in a name that's in the address book and press enter quickly enough, the lookup does not complete. Instead, TB accepts the partially typed in word as the address. This never happened in version 30 of Thunderbird. In fact, there was never a time when the completion failed to look up an address in any older version unless the address simply wasn't there. In 31.4.0, the address book lookup fails as described. It also sometimes pulls in addresses in the color red even though they have been used before.
