(MailNews Core :: Composition, defect, P3)

Description

[sol]

In mail compose window, when you enter more than 2 addresses in the addressing 
widget, then tab to the Subject field, the window (and the rest of the app) 
freezes.

Build ID - 2000-02-18-08 (commercial)

Steps to reproduce:
1. Launch Mail (Tasks | Mail)
2. Open a Mail compose window ("New Msg" on Mail toolbar)
3. Address the message to first recipient, hit [Enter]

Note: Addressing line for second recipient jumps up on the screen - a separate 
bug

4. Address the message to second recipient, hit [Enter]
5. Address the message to third recipient, hit [Tab] to get to Subject field

Expected result: Focus moves to Subject field and you get to type to your 
heart's content

Actual result: The compose window, and the rest of the app, freezes.

Nominating for Beta1.

This bug happens any time you address a mail message to more than 2 people (high 
frequency), and the application hangs (very bad result).

High frequency, bad result --> beta stopper.

This is 26618, I'm pretty sure.

Yes, that the same. Sol, you can go around this problem by typing all your recipient on the same line separated by a 
comma. Auto complete will work correctly.
