Description Leo Savernik 2005-11-28 18:34:46 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.0)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources

For a long time, KMail's composer allows email-addresses be autocompleted in every url-bar. This feature worked very well.

Since KDE 3.5, the autocomplete list got section headers like "Most recently used" intermingled with the actual email-addresses.

Let's assume my fictitious mru-list looks like this:

aberer@invalid
beberer@invalid
ceberer@invalid

Then under KDE 3.5, this list would look like this in the autocomplete-dropdown:

Most recently used:
  aberer@invalid
  beberer@invalid
  ceberer@invalid

where the "Most recently used" comprises a normal line.

The problem is now that the first line will be automatically eligible for autocompletion.

For reproduction, I will refer to this ficitious list, but every mru list with at least one email-address starting with 'a' will do.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open new composer
2. Navigate to url-bar
3. Enter 'a' (without the quotes, of course)
4. Hit tab

Expected results:
The url-bar will be autocompleted with "aberer@invalid"

Actual results:
The url-bar is autocompleted with "Most recently used"

This is quite a big usability-regression.
