Description Paul Smith 2007-09-19 20:09:54 UTC
Please describe the problem:
I'm using Evolution with my Exchange 2003 server and both an Exchange contact list and Global Address List configured.  When I create a new email message and first start entering email addresses in the To: box, I get autocompletion against the GAL server, just as you'd expect and all works fine.  I can even add multiple users and they all complete.

However, if I then tab or click to the next entry field (the CC: for example), then click back onto the To: field, now when I start entering names I get no completion at all.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open a new mail message
2. Enter a name that exists in the addressbook (not sure if this happens with normal addressbooks, or just GAL) into the To: field.  See that it auto-completes
3. Click in the CC: box.
4. Click back on the end of the To: field
5. Start entering another name that exists in the addressbook.

Actual results:
The second name is not autocompleted.

Expected results:
The second name is autocompleted just like the first.

Does this happen every time?
Yes.

Other information:
Note this is a regression as Evo 2.10 didn't do this (although it had PLENTY of other problems with GAL and lookups!)  In fact, I've been building the SVN versions for the last few months and I think this bug is a result of a fairly recent change; I don't remember it happening back in 2.11.4 etc.

I'm not sure if this happens only with GAL, or if it happens with the local contact list as well.

There's also an Ubuntu bug about this and it also happens with local contacts: https://bugs.launchpad.net/evolution/+bug/147506

Fixed in stable (8106) / head (8105).
