281832 - Address autocomplete stops working after scrolling address list

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(MailNews Core :: Composition, defect)

Description

[Michael Baffoni]

Steps to reproduce: 
1) open mail compose window
2) add in enough addresses that a scroll bar appears
3)verify on the last open address line that auto complete works by typing a
couple letters
4) Scroll up and down list
5) Put focus/cursor in last empty address line and type the same couple of
letters from 3)

What happens:  the letters remain, auto-complete does not fill in with an entry
from the address books.
What should happen: Autocomplete should run a check on the input like it does
for all other addresses.

Workaround: If you delete out the entry so it goes to the prior address, then
hit return so it creates a new empty address line, autocomplete will start
working again.

I am seeing this on Windows XP, with Mozilla 1.7.3, and trunk daily (Mozilla/5.0

Maybe related to bug 290942 ... (scroll <> autocomplete interaction)

I think this is crudely WFM. autocomplete doesn't break after scrolling. But scrolling also forces the unfinished address to autocomplete.
