Description Sabine Faure 2010-08-18 22:01:16 UTC
Version:           unspecified (using Devel) 
OS:                Linux

After having typed the same email address several times as a recipient when entering the first letter in the recipients tab the address appears in grey.
To make it appear in black the user has to hit '>' as many times as there are letters in the email address.

I think it would be a lot more efficient to have to hit '>' only once per word to save the user's time.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
- Launch Kmail-mobile
- Click on the 'Write a new email' button
- The Composer appears
- Open the 'Recipients' tab
- Type an email address
- Close the 'Recipients' tab
- Write a few words in the Composer text editor and click on 'Send'
- Repeat all the steps above until the recipient address appears in grey in the Recipients tab after typing the first letter of the email address

Actual Results:  
Every time the user hits '>' ONE grey letter becomes black

Expected Results:  
whereas it would be a lot faster if every time the user hits '>' one word of the email address would becomes black.

Sometimes it is possible to touch the end of the entry field and the autocompletion suggestion is taken.

I find the behaviour difficult as well (maybe its maemo-default, though).

I'd assumed pressing Enter would accept the (grayed) suggestion.

I retested this today and indeed touching within the line edit at its end works fine to select the suggested email address.

Thx for the tip, Felix ;o)

Also I tested pressing enter to select the grey suggested email address and that too worked fine so I am closing this bug.

Feel free to reopen if it does not work for you.

Confirmed. Pressing <Enter> now works.
