Steps to reproduce:

Let's do it gherkin-style:

Given that I have many similar addresses in your address book
When I click on an address field
And I move the cursor 10px down
And I type the beggining of the email address
And several addresses pop-up in the drop-down
And the one I want is the first in the list and appears in the field
And the cursor hovers another one
And I press Enter


Actual results:

Then the resulting address should not be the one that was hovered


Expected results:

And the resulting address should be the one that was already in the field
I think thunderbird should not validate with the keyboard what was done with the cursor. I think more users follow the click then type then enter workflow than the click then select with the mouse then press enter workflow.
I like the gherkin-style... ;)

Yes, that's a known issue, bug 1152517.
