303197 - autocompletion list order is not correct.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 302935

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

[Keyhan Hadjari]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050725 Firefox/1.0.6 (Ubuntu package 1.0.6)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050725 Firefox/1.0.6 (Ubuntu package 1.0.6)

When typing a name like "Per Liden" in TO: text field Thunderbird finds two
names that fit the description 1.Per-Erik Liden and 2.Per Liden. the e-mails are:
per-erik.liden@xxx and per.liden@xxx. The way now I think Thunderbird sort this
is that "-" is matched to "." and therefor Per-Erik is shown before Per.

The solution should be to replace . with a space when doing the sorting of the list.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Have the autocompletion and have the mails per.liden@xxx and
per-erik.liden@xxx in your address book
2.Push write icon in thunderbird
3.type "per liden" in to: text field and wait.

Actual Results:  
per-erik.liden@xxx
per.liden@xxx

Expected Results:  
per.liden@xxx
per-erik.liden@xxx
