User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4
Build Identifier: Thunderbird version 1.0.2 (20050317)
If I type the start of an address which matches several entries in my address
book, auto complete gives me those entries, plus what-I-typed-so-far@mydomain.
If only one entry matches, I get just that one entry and nothing for mydomain.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. My account is simon@mydomain.net
2. My address book contains:
bert@def.com
bertrand@ghi.co.uk
fred@xyz.org
3. Type 'bert' and pause. Auto complete offers:
bert@mydomain.net
bert@def.com
bertrand@ghi.co.uk
(This is correct)
4. Type 'fred' and pause. Auto complete offers only:
fred@xyz.org
Actual Results:
After step 4 there is only 1 address offered.
Expected Results:
It should also offer:
fred@mydomain.net

have you tried a 1.1a thunderbird trunk build? I believe this has been fixed.

Not only 1 address offered, but there isn't even a dropdown.
Obviously, this behavior wouldn't apply to identities with
mail.identity.idXXX.autocompleteToMyDomain
(a recently-added pref) set to false, but I see the described behavior for the
identity where I have that pref set to true.

I think, by the way, there's an implied step between (3) and (4):
3.5) Backspace to clear "bert"

I think David Bienvenu is right and this bug has been fixed.
The minResultsForPopup attribute is set to 3 by default in the autocomplete cell, and is set to 2 only if autocompleteToMyDomain is false.

I don't believe this is fixed. I can reproduce per the steps-to-reproduce with
TB3a1-0316. I'd give results for -0327 except autocomplete is completely
broken on the trunk with recent builds (bug 332004).

Re-tested on Thunderbird 2.0.0.9
if mail.identity.idXXX.autocompleteToMyDomain is false the auto-complete works as expected. If true then I still see the behaviour I originally reported.
Note that you have to type enough letters to resolve to a single address before auto-complete makes its first attempt. In my original example you can type 'bert' to get
bert@mydomain.net
bert@def.com
bertrand@ghi.co.uk
If you then add an 'r' you get (correctly)
bertr@mydomain.net
bertrand@ghi.co.uk
If you type 'bertr' in one hit you get just
bertrand@ghi.co.uk
and no offer for my domain.
Mike's comment #3 (delete fred and re-type bert) is correct, I missed out taht step.
