468798 - Apple address book based completion on selecting first address in record

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 447927

(Thunderbird :: Address Book, defect)

Description

[mozilla]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X 10_5_5; en-us) AppleWebKit/525.18 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/3.1.2 Safari/525.20.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9.1b3pre) Gecko/20081204 Thunderbird/3.0b1 ThunderBrowse/3.2.2.1

When using address autocompletion with the native OS X address book as the backend store, only the first address in the record is matched.  If there are multiple addresses in the address book, they are not seen when the real name is typed in.  If one of the "non-primary" addresses is entered, it is completed correctly.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create an addressbook entry in OS X (10.5.5 PPC is my platform) with two valid e-mail addresses
2. Type in the real name used to create the address book entry and wait for autocompletion
3.  See that only one address is offered up in the completion choices
Actual Results:  
I have an address book entry for  "Foo Bar" with the addresses of [e-mail] and [e-mail]
When I enter Foo Bar in the to field of a new message, I am only offered [e-mail]

Expected Results:  
I would have expected both [e-mail] and [e-mail] as options to select from.

Bug 447927 is about the fact we only autocomplete against one email address rather than both of the ones we support at the moment.

Bug 118665 covers the situation for all email addresses in the OS X address book for a particular card.

I'm going to dupe this to bug 447927, although both of these bugs cover your issue.
