Description René Serral 2012-12-11 07:55:08 UTC
I'm using two external addressbook, Google and LDAP. When I type a name of a contact in composer (now it works!) i get a list of my contacts LDAP + Google however in my preferences I have that first I want to see my google contacts.

Besides, when autocompletion shows if I move the cursor down to select an entry it keeps going up to the first entry, making it very difficult to select the contact using the keyboard, I have either to wait a while to be able to select it, or be really fast pressing down and enter to select the desired entry rather than the first one.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enter a contact name in the To or CC fields
2. Wait for autocompletion to show
3. Try to select fourth entry, cursor keeps going to the first for a while
Actual Results:  
If you are not careful you'll select the wrong recipient

Expected Results:  
Actually keep the focus on the desired entry

This bug has only been reported for versions before 4.14, which have been unsupported for at least two years now. Can anyone tell if this bug still present?

If noone confirms this bug for a Framework-based version of kmail2 (version 5.0 or later, as part of KDE Applications 15.12 or later), it gets closed in about three months.
