1132927 - Addresses autocomplete slower than before when composing...

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1012397

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

[Fred Stluka]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; rv:35.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/35.0
Build ID: 20150122214805

Steps to reproduce:

Type a few chars into a recipient field when composing a message and
immediately hit Return to go the next field so you can type on a new address


Actual results:

The chars you typed do not autocomplete to an address in you address book,
unless you wait a second or two before hitting Return.


Expected results:

The autocomplete should be faster or should still occur after you have hit Return.
It used to work fine.  A couple of months ago, it started to have this problem.
So now I type a bunch of nicknames or initial strings of addresses, hitting Return after each one, and then I go back and fix the ones that failed to autocomplete.  
To fix each one, I click on the field, delete the last char, re-type the last char, and wait for it to autocomplete.

Thanks for your help in supporting Thunderbird -- the best email client I've ever used!

I agree.  This was a duplicate.  Sorry I didn't find bug 1012397 before
I submitted it.

BTW, I REALLY like the way you guys (or bugzilla automatically?) add me
to the CC list of the other ticket when you resolve mine as a duplicate.
So I stay informed as the other ticket progresses.

Excellent user support!!

I wish JIRA did that automatically for the users of my software projects.

Thanks!

Yeah that's a bugzilla feature.
