Build ID: 2001050904 In Prefs, check for "Use the address and do not search in the directory" if there is a match in your local address books. Still do search in the directory.

To make this work, we need to tweak into the autocomplete widget, and I am not sure if we can finish this in the time we have. So, I am going to disable this checkbox for now.

Will enable the checkbox, when I have the patch. I think the checkbox being diabled will be less confusing to the user than it being enabled and not work.

Changed summary. ccin Seth for sr

instead of having it always disabled in the UI, you should remove it. jglick, do you agree?

I wanted to keep the UI, because if it is trivial to fix the actual problem then we will just have to enable the UI. I will not be able to add any UI past localization freeze, I believe it is in about 10 days. btw, the actual problem is the pref "Use the address and do not search in the directory" doesnot work.

That is what we have beening doing in the rest of the UI, yes. If it doesn't currently work, remove it for now.

since this doesn't work, you should not show it in the UI. but you can (and you did) keep the strings entities around. the L18n freeze is all about adding new strings after localization has started. you can still remove exising UI. You should comment out this UI (to remove it), instead of disabling it. then you'll be able to easily uncomment the UI to add it back once the feature works. the summary should be changed from "disable" to "remove"

o.k, will comment out the code to remove it. Will attach a new patch. Updating summary to reflect that

ok; r=mohanb;

sr=sspitzer thanks for removing, instead of just disabling.

Fix checked in on 6/8

reopening. The following error message is now appearing in the console after going to the Addressing panel & then switching to another panel. *** FIX ME: '_elementIDs' in 'pref-addressing.xul' contains a reference to a non -existent element ID 'autocompleteSkipDirectory'. autocompleteSkipDirectory needs to be removed from _elementIDs, since the code that uses that id is commented out, to fix the error message stated above.
