Description darren 2007-05-22 08:05:52 UTC 
What were you doing when the application crashed?
Composer->enter to: field.

When the autocompletion matches the name I want, I hit the down cursor key. Rather than having the autocompletion at the top of the list I have something else.

This is a regression from past behaviour where you could accept the autocompletion by hitting down and enter.

i don't get that report.
"When the autocompletion matches the name I want, I hit the down cursor key."
why?

"This is a regression from past behaviour where you could accept the
autocompletion by hitting down and enter."
you can still do that, at least in 2.10 here.
Comment 2 darren 2007-05-30 16:07:36 UTC 
I was used to previous behaviour where the easiest way (for me) to complete a name that was already displayed in-line by autocompletion, was to hit down and enter. It would usually (always?) be the first choice in the list since it was the closest match.

Now I can hit tab anyway so it's not a show-stopper. But why is the drop-down list sorted so badly in the first place? Surely sorting in order of likelihood based on the already typed string would be best. I'm sure this was how it behaved in 1.3 which I was only just using.

There is a bug about sorting the autocompletion list already, marking this as a duplicate
