344031 - Problems with arrow-key navigation between header fields

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 244512

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

[Arkady Belousov]

User-Agent:       Opera/9.00 (Windows 98; U; ru)
Build Identifier: http://mozilla-chi.osuosl.org/pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/releases/1.5.0.4/win32/ru/Thunderbird%20Setup%201.5.0.4.exe

If I enter new, non-existing (in cached address-book) address, then pressing Down key from "To:" field adds new ("To:") field. 

If I enter prefix, which TB recognizes in address book, then it shows list of matched addresses. I may close this list by Esc, but it again appear, when I press Down key. Thus, I can't move below and create additional header field. (Tab moves into "Subject:" field).

If I enter known prefix (for which TB shows lists), but after this remove it, then TB anyway doesn't accepts Down key.

If I return to filled field (with address from adderss book) and press Down key, then instead moving down, TB shows empty list.

Reproducible: Always



Expected Results:  
I don't know how to rework this buggy behavior. But I know, that currently TB (1) doesn't allows to always move in header with keyboard and (2) wrongly shows empty list (in some cases).

I think this is a dupe of bug 244512; see my new comment there.
