1151273 - mail.autoComplete.highlightNonMatches incorrectly highlights auto completed email addresses

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1042561

(Thunderbird :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[Tom Goodman]

Attachment: Compose window showing the same address both highlighted and non-highlighted

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; WOW64; rv:38.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/38.0
Build ID: 20150330154247

Steps to reproduce:

Type in an incomplete address book reference that does not match the case of the auto complete entry. Pause so that highlighting realizes that the partially typed entry is not a known address. Highlighting will change the color of the partial text to red. Select one of the auto completion entries offered. 


Actual results:

The red highlighting will continue to be present even though a valid address book entry was selected.


Expected results:

The auto completed entry should be valid and not highlighted in red.
