58280 - Autocomplete Addresses: Can't select from pop-up list

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 55179

(MailNews Core :: Composition, defect, P3)

Description

[Per Reedtz Thomsen]

when I try to select a possible completion from a pop-up of addresses, I am
unable to do so. I now have to type in every address completely.

Example:

- In the To: field I type in 'greg'
- a pop-up appears with the following list:
  Greg Coleman <[e-mail]>
  gregsapn1 <[e-mail]>
  Greg Staple <[e-mail]>
  Greg Paolino <[e-mail]>
  [e-mail]

No matter which one of these addresses I pick (with the mouse), it isn't
reflected in the To: line. Things work fine with the arrow keys.

[Jean-Francois Ducarroz]

sound like a bug we fixed few days ago. Which build are you using? have you
tried to use up and down arrow key to change the selection?

Comment 2

[Per Reedtz Thomsen]

I'm using M18.

The arrow keys are working fine.

Comment 3

[Jeffrey Baker]

This has been fixed since M18, with a patch I submitted.  Please see bug 55179.
 Marking Dup.  See also Asa's comments in that bug, though they don't apply to M18.
