Typically, if the user types "ducarroz" and we autocomplete against the addressbook, the match will be "jean-Francois Ducarroz <ducarroz%netscape.com>" as it's not a direct match of the user input, we display the following (text between bracket is selected): ducarroz[ >> Jean-Francois Ducarroz <ducarroz@netscape.com>] once the user does any action inside the text field (mouse or keyboard), we must delete the selection. Except when the user press <tab> or <return>, in this case we replace the content of the edit field with the match, same if the textfield loose focus.
I cannot implement this feature until bug 35687 is fixed.

Fixed and checked in despite remaining dependency. Event if the "xxxx >>" still shown, it won't be part of the value of the field when somebody query it.
