Description

sometimes the address autocomplete drop down stays up even though I have tabbed to the subject or body (and can type there)

let me attach a screen shot.

I have seen this several times, but it is not 100%

also, I have been seeing it for a while, and only now am I getting around to logging a bug.  (so it is not a recent regression.)

screen shot coming...

in that screen shot, you can see that I've got "Tim" selected, but I have see this without having selected an item, too.

it is as if the tab key press is accepted, but the menu list never gets the event?

Never seen this in my entire life (using current TB 17.0.6 on WinXP, mostly POP3, no LDAP). Pls feel free to reopen if you still see this.
