Steps to reproduce:

Originally encountered this in my Addons Manager Hilite add-on which uses a custom autocomplete listbox. But it also occurs in Thunderbird:

1. Add "address1@example.com" and "address2@example.com" to addressbook.
2. Click "Write", write "addr" in "To" field, autocomplete should replace it to "address1@example.com" and show a popup to choose.
3. Move mouse over autocomplete popup entry address1@example.com.
4. Move mouse over autocomplete popup entry address2@example.com.
5. Move mouse down completely out of autocomplete popup .
6. Now click outside of the autocomplete popup.




Actual results:

The item that was last highlighted before the mouse exited the popup is confirmed just as if it was clicked on.


Expected results:

The original item in the To: field should stay there and not be replaced by some item that was highlighted but never actually chosen.
Tested in Thunderbird 31.7.0; issue in my Fx extension occurs on Trunk (not sure how long previously).
