Description Michael P . Conlon 2011-02-16 19:34:24 UTC
Version:           1.13.5 (using KDE 4.5.1) 
OS:                Linux

In sending an email, when I start to enter an address, a list of addresses appears below. If I click on one of those suggested addresses, the first three characters of that address are copied into the "To:" box, and the box becomes unresponsive. I can kill the box with the little "x" arrow on its right, but I can not edit the text in the box.

Actually, the three characters in the box may just be the (typically) three characters I typed before I saw my desired address in the list of suggestions.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Start to enter text into the "To: box of a new email. Click on any of the suggested completions.

Actual Results:  
The "To:" box freezes, i.e., I can no longer edit it. If I kill the box, I can
recover by typing the entire address into a new "To:" box.

Expected Results:  
It should have copied the selected suggested email address into the "To: box in place of the text I had typed.
