While typing in nick names for auto completion in mail composer, the first
address gets completed alright. For subsequent nick names address completion
does not happen. The same problem was there in 1.7.6 release also.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open mail composer window (Press compose button)
2. type nick name in to: . Addr completion takes place.
3. Press enter and type in another nick name, no address completion.

Actual Results:  
Address completion for typed in nick name does not take place. If I type in AB
(nick name for [e-mail], completion should happen for it) but AB remains as
the address.

Expected Results:  
Should complete the address (or) present a list of matched addresses for
selection by user.

I have Bcc set up for all mails I compose. Observed the same issue in 1.7.6.

I have tried the same thing again to find some thing interesting. First one or
two addresses are completed, then a few addresses would not expand, after a few
more addresses it starts auto completion, this is in 1.8-b2 - WinXP. I use
plugins Googlebar, flash and shockwave players.

Just In case: This does not happen for Reply window, it happens only in Compose
Window.
