456550 - Drag and drop of text onto the autocomplete widgets no longer does autocomplete

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 528503

(MailNews Core :: Composition, defect)

Description

[Mark Banner (:standard8)]

The addressing widget used to have the function that you could drag (or paste) multiple names/addresses into it, and it would use the autocomplete code in the background to put in the most appropriate email address.

With the switch of the autocomplete items to toolkit autocomplete, this is now broken, and we should fix it at some stage.

Argh!! This is getting worse and worse!

Pasting multiples still does not work. 

But now with TB 31.3.0 even pasting a single name one has to wait like 3 seconds before auto-completion kicks in. What is even worse, when pressing backspace auto-completion does not kick in at all. So to make auto-completion faster, one has to delete the last character and re-type it.

could anyone tell me that how could i trace back the function that is performing ldap autocompletion  in TB source code.

TB 45.0 is fast again. But having a list of names (e.g. recipients for your birthday invitation), it is tedious work to hop through each item to make auto-complete kick in. Any chance that this will get fixed eventually?
