Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 79006

(MailNews Core :: Composition, defect)

From Bugzilla Helper:

I don't know if this belongs in 25573 or not, so I'm just filing a new bug.

When I Compose a mail message, and I'm entering a name in the "To" area that
matches several names in my Address Book (and thus get a pop-up menu of
matches), if I move the selection to the name I want, and then hit TAB to select
it and move to the "Subject" pane, the selection just changes, rather than
selecting it as expected.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open "Compose" window.
2. Type in a string in the "To" pane that matches several names
   in the Address Book.
3. Scroll down to one of those names with the down arrow.
4. Hit "TAB".

Actual Results:  The selection gets moved down to the next item on the menu
(rolling back around to the top if at the bottom).

Expected Results:  It should've selected the entry from the menu, put it into
the "To" pane, and then TABbed to the "Subject" pane.

Should do essentially the same thing as hitting ENTER, and then hitting TAB,
except that a new "To" line won't get created.

This is what happened in Netscape 4.x ...
