84503 - Autocompelete against LDAP doesn't hold

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 81695

(MailNews Core :: Composition, defect, P1)

Description

[esther]

Using builds 2001-06-07 on win, mac and linux if I autocompele on a name from 
the LDAP directory, the autocompleted name changes to the first on one the list 
after <Enter> to accept or pressing <Enter> to move to the next field.

1. Launch App (have LDAP set up to autocomplete against AOL/TW directory.  It 
doesn't matter if you have the checked or unchecked for "If there is a match in 
your local address books:" option.
2. Bring up a New Msg window and type in a name that you know will match 
something in the LDAP directory.  I used "Nav" .
3. When autocomplete comes up select a name that you know is coming from the 
LDAP search, notice it displays in the To: field.  Now press <Enter>

Result on Win & Linux.  The name changes to the default name+domain (which is 
the first one on the list)
Result on Mac, the name displays in the To:field, but when you press <Enter> 
again to go to the next field the name you typed above changes to the default 
name+domain.   

this is really bad, user can send mail to recipient they never intended to send 
to.

I have also see this on today's windows build.  I opened the compose window and
started to type an email address and the auto complete kicked in but selected
the wrong name.  So I went down the list and picked the one I wanted and
selectec it. I was now in the address field.  I then went to the message pane
and then noticed that the first email address replace the one I had selected.

Paul, are you using LDAP too?

I talked to Paul at the time and he told me he was using LDAP. His scenario was
the same as mine, however he didn't catch the name change before he sent.

This is a dup of 81695, which is awaiting comment from ducarroz and/or hewitt on
possible solutions.

This bug occurs only if you have both Adressbook and LDAP autocompletion enable.
Looks like we are doing something wrong when we merge the result from both source!
