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. See also bug 318992.

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.
