When you use the email completion system, if you press the RETURN key and type
the begining of the next address, this leads to having the first letters of the
second email append at the end of the first email and the focus of the cursor on
the second line without any letters.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. type a name in the first email line of a new email windows
2. press the RETURN key *before* the completion has wrote the end of the email
3. just after the RETURN key, begin to type your second email address

Actual Results:  
The letters your typed after the RETURN key are at the end of the first email
address (after the @endofemail.com>). And the cursor has the focus on the second
line.

Expected Results:  
The letters typed after the RETURN key should be the first of the second line.

This occurs only if your computer is slow enough not to have time to have the
completion of the first line occurs before having the RETURN key down and the
other letters typed.
