Autocompletion does not work properly
Last modified: 2005-08-09 10:19:18 UTC
Please describe the problem: I am using autocompletion against the system addressbook in GroupWise server. Autocompletion does not seem to function as I expect. There seems to be a timing issue here. If I type very slowly (like one key every 2-3 seconds), then after around 4 keystroked, I get the results. If I type fast (normal typing speed), it never shows up any results. My SOAP traces show that the results have been fetched from the server, but they do not get displayed. Steps to reproduce: 1. Open a new composer window 2. Type a name for autocompletion at the normal typing speed. 3. The autocompletion does not work Actual results: You can see a lot of action happening at the server side, in terms of SOAP requests/response, but no results on the user screen. Expected results: After 2-3 characters, I expect the matching results to appear for my selection. Does this happen every time? Yes Other information: If I type 3 characters, wait for a few seconds (4-5 seconds), and then type another character, it works.
Patch to fix this problem by hpj is committed to head.
