Description András Manţia 2008-05-30 15:04:27 UTC
Version:            (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources

I have setup KMail to put the recently used addresses into the completion box for recipients. I also use an LDAP server for addressbook, configured with kolabwizard.
If I try to send a mail to somebody whose name starts with "a", it shows those addresses I used before and start with "a". I select one from them. Meantime the address book is loaded, the list changes (that isn't a big problem), but selection changes as well! So pressing enter selects the wrong person.
Even if the address book was already loded (e.g. in the same, opened composer window, entering a new recipient), as you type it shows all the addresses (LDAP first, recent entries after). While you navigate through the list, after some seconds the selection jumps back to the first entry.
 Imagine my surprise when somebody asked why I sent that mail to him....

Probably related to bug 164717.
Comment 2 Thomas McGuire 2008-07-13 15:09:35 UTC
Yep, I can reproduce it now that I have a LDAP addressbook too.
