305654 - Mail Autocomplete is broken

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

[Scott MacGregor]

Started with the 8/23 builds. 8/22 branch and trunk builds are fine.

I'm seeing some pretty whacky thunderbird autocomplete regressions in this
morning's branch builds that was not there in yesterdays's build. This patch
looks suspicious :). For starters, the auto complete popup won't stay open so
you can't select an autocomplete match at all. Second, I keep ending up with
resutls like
Scott >> Scott MacGregor <[e-mail]>

after hitting enter to accept an autocomplete result.

This was caused by Bug 287996

See bug 305591--this is likely cross-product (core).

Stupid mistake here, I meant to set this.ignoreInputEvent.  I tested
autocomplete in Thunderbird with this patch and it works fine.

duh

do we need a similar change for toolkit's autocomplete.xml?

Thanks for the quick turn around. Approving this regression fix for the branch.

Nope, the variable name is correct for toolkit autocomplete.xml (that's what I 
get for copy and pasting).

I am seeing some pretty strange things with Seamonkey browser window location
autocomplete in build 2005082306.  For instance, trying to type www. anything is
impossible.  If I just type 'w' the word 'web' gets filled in.  The second 'w' I
end up with 'web/ww.eb' and the third 'w' gets me 'web/ww.ebw'.  If I turn off
'Autocomplete best match as you type' in prefs this goes away.

Could it be a result of this or should I file a new defect?

Windows XP.
