235021 - When you select a name before the LDAP search is completes it selects the wrong name

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(MailNews Core :: LDAP Integration, defect)

Description

[Graham Robertson]

User-Agent:       
Build Identifier: Mozilla Thunderbird 0.5 (20040207)

Most of the time when the names are autocompleted in the compose window when I 
select a name with the mouse it selects the wrong name

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Using an LDAP server that takes a few seconds to do a search
2.Type in a few letters of a name e.g. 'De' into the To: field
3.As LDAP search starts to return names I select a name with my mouse before 
the search is finshed.
Actual Results:  
Thunderbird ignores my selection and choosed the first entry in the list
and I end up sending an email to the wrong person

Expected Results:  
The name I selected with the mouse should have been selected

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.

sorry for the spam.  making bugzilla reflect reality as I'm not working on these bugs.  filter on FOOBARCHEESE to remove these in bulk.

easy to reproduce 2.0.0.13pre.  place mouse in position where you can quickly click one of the ldap results, and click before list is finished being presented - first of the search results is selected.

Mark, are you able to reproduce, or do you know of something that would have fixed this?  I can't reproduce in version 3.0a1pre (2008011304) but perhaps I haven't tried enough.
