See steps, that's what I get on my system.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Ctrl-m to compose a new mail
2. Type 'ca' in the "to" field
3. LDAP gives me a list of possible completions. The first answer is "Sébastien Cahon <xxx@xxx.xx>", second one is "jean Carle <xxx@xxx.xx>".
4. I choose "jean Carle <xxx@xxx.xx>"
5. I'm a bit maniacal, so I correct "jean" to "Jean" in the label (the address in not modified!)
6. Hit Tab key to jump to the "title" field

Actual Results:  
"Jean Carle <xxx@xxx.xx>" is automatically replaced by "Sébastien Cahon <xxx@xxx.xx>"

Expected Results:  
The address should not be modified

I don't know if this is a bug or a feature, but I don't think TB should automatically change the address without any warning. Yesterday I sent an e-mail to someone I don't know at all because I didn't see this replacement...
I can reproduce this problem with TB 1.5.0.7 and 1.0.6 under Windows; however, with 2a1-0912, the edited name remains in place.  There've been a handful of autocomplete fixes since 1.5 was released, but it's not obvious which of them might have fixed this.
