User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:80.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/80.0

Steps to reproduce:

set mail.autoComplete.commentColumn to 1
go to Lightning, create an event and try to add one attendee, the email autocompletion is wrong, you only see the address book name, not the emails...

Actual results:

Expected results:

see emails plus address book names (like in email autocompletion)

Component: Untriaged → General
Product: Thunderbird → Calendar
Version: 78 → Thunderbird 78

In my 78.3.0 the default is "mail.autoComplete.commentColumn;0".

Does the CardBook extension change that to a "1", and why is it needed?

If I change it to a "1", and try to invite attendees, all I see now is address book names without the extension.

Flags: needinfo?(cardbook.thunderbird)

CardBook does not change the mail.autoComplete.commentColumn option.

I do not understand why setting this option to 1 is supported when writting email and why this is not supported for adding an attendee...

Perhaps it's because the developer has never come across this preference before.

Ever confirmed: true

We should figure out how to make this widget self-contained as Firefox does, but for now I just want to fix the bug with a simple patch that can be uplifted.
