57130 - Can't select mail address from auto drop-down list in Composition

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 55179

(MailNews Core :: Composition, defect, P3)

Description

[mburba]

When I type in the first few characters of a name of someone who's in my address
book, a drop-down list appears with everyone in my address book who matches
those characters.  When I select someone from the drop-down list, nothing is
populated in the textfield with the email addresses.

Expected:  I expect that when I click on an address in the drop-down list, that
that email address populates the field.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to reproduce:
1.  Open a compose.
2.  Type in the first few characters of a name that has multiple entries in your
PAB (e.g., John, etc.)
3.  Select one of the listed email addresses in the drop-down list.
<nothing happens...>

NOTE:  I marked major because I think we'll have a hard time getting people to
use a mail client that doesn't easily integrate the Address Book...

Not sure if this bug is a dup.  It does have to do with the auto-complete, but 
it's the auto-complete of an email, not within the browser.  If these both use 
the same class, then it could be the same issue, though.

Both URL autocompletion and email address autocompletion use the same widget, therefore the same code. The build 
you are using is from before I checked in the fix for bug 55179. Therefore it's really a dup of it.
