Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:11.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/11.0 Build ID: 20120312181643 Steps to reproduce: I entered the family name of one contact in my address book in TO line. Actual results: Auto completion did not show the contact with that family name. Expected results: Auto completion should also show contacts with family name matched with what is entered.
Component: General → Message Compose Window
Does this happens if you start Thunderbird in -safe-mode ?
Component: Message Compose Window → Address Book
QA Contact: general → address-book
Yes, it can be reproduced in safe mode. But I　also tested it on a Linux Machine with TB 12.0, and it works fine there.
Please go to address book and report back here with following details of affected (not found) card: - first name - last name - display name I suspect this is case of first name = "" last name = "" Display name = "John Doe" Then, "Doe" will not be found unless it occurs at beginning of other field like email. We have bugs for that.
Summary: TO line auto completion does not work for family name → TO line recipient auto completion does not work for family name (last name)

Sorry for the delay. Yes, Thomas is right, it's a problem of the "Display Name". I can confirm this.

(In reply to shudanzhong from comment #5) > Sorry for the delay. Yes, Thomas is right, it's a problem of the "Display > Name". I can confirm this. shudanzhong, thanks for returning to this bug. If I understand you correctly, you are confirming the details of affected address book card per my comment 3, namely: > I suspect this is case of > first name = "" > last name = "" > Display name = "John Doe" > Then, "Doe" will not be found unless it occurs at beginning of other field > like email. We have bugs for that. If that is the case, that will make this bug a duplicate of bug 558931.
