272261 - Address book selects wrong recipient

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 271439

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

[Måns Jonasson]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: version 0.9 (20041103)

I was trying to send an email to "[e-mail]" which is not in my
address book. However, as I type "christian", the "popup" shows me what
addresses I DO have in my address book beginning with "christian". The top entry
is "[e-mail]". If I continue to type "@thismail.com" and then
press TAB to select the subject field BEFORE the "popup" self-closes,
Thunderbird erases "[e-mail]" from the recipient field and
replaces it with the top entry from the selected addresses from the address book!

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start typing an address that exists in your address book
2. When the context-sensitive help pops up suggesting entries, type something
else instead
3. Press TAB (or ENTER) before the help popup closes

Actual Results:  
Compose window will contain the top entry from the context-sensitive help popup
instead of the address I typed.

Expected Results:  
Used the address I typed for the recipient.
