No auto-complete when adding to a Mailing List

[jeffw_00]

Hi -this seems like a new issue in 2.25. I open the address book, double click on a mailing list that I previously added (under Personal Address Book), and try to add a name. There's no auto-complete. I have to copy/paste the Email address, and then after it shows up, edit the card as listed in the mailing list.

Just thought you'd like to know.

It should be fixed on 2.28, but no indication yet that it goes on the earlier branches (Thunderbird doesn't care much about it given that 31.0 will be their next release).

I've left a comment in the bug report and will keep an eye on it.

Ok - will wait for 2.28 (sigh) - that's quite a ways off, yes?

thanks

Three cycles. But as said, if approved the fix may land as soon as the next 2.26 beta, the patch author has just to request it thus it catches the attention of the release drivers (and they'd have to approve it for an earlier release, of course).

ok thx

[rsx11m]

I've requested the approvals as there wasn't any reaction to my comment. Since Thunderbird hasn't tagged their 29.0 beta yet there is a chance that they may still take the patch thus it can go into SeaMonkey 2.26 as well (that's in part shared MailNews and Calendar code, thus not restricted to SeaMonkey).

that'd be great thanks

[jeffw_00]

fixed in 2.26
