170282 - To combobox doesn't close on TAB

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(MailNews Core :: Composition, defect)

Description

[Eyal Lior]

When writting in the TO editable-combo, autocompletion maches the wanted
recipiant, then I got 2 choices:
1) Press enter -> autocompletion will do the job but carret will move to new TO
line with delay of 200-500ms (then if I press TAB too fast, carret will move to
Subject & jump back to newly added TO line which is annoying

2) Press tab -> autocompletion will do the job and carret will move to Subject
line. problem is that the TO lcombo stays open even when losing focus.

Just add a listener to Tab and close the combo, it should be fair enough

Reporter, I can't reproduce #1 on my winxp system with daily build or last
released build.   Can you give me a build id.  Please state what you mean by "To
combo stays open even when losing focus".  When I use tab to autocomplete,
autocompleted happens and my cursor lands in the Subject field and focus is in
the subject.  I still see the 2nd To line in the addressing pane, but the focus
is not there and this is correct behavior.

I am afraid I dont quite understand how to reproduce this. 
I opened compose - typed in my name - it brought up a list of suggestions with
my name highlighted in it and I pressed TAB -> It finished the auto-completion
and then jumped to subject and didnt create a new TO line.
 I tried this with a random "asdfadfa" which autocompleted with the domain name
and  then tried TAB and it went to the subject and didnt create a new TO line.

Eyal Lior, is this bug still an issue for you?  Comment 1 and comment 3 both 
indicate they are unable to reproduce the problem, and I cannot either (using 
Mozilla 1.4b).  Please respond, and if you are still seeing the problem, 
indicate which build of Mozilla you are using.

Looks ok on redhat 9/gnome. I had that bug when I was using w2kpro though...
