Re: [Evolution] Address completion, is it magic, or just slow

Amazingly, grabbing a screen shot seems to be impossible.  xwd needs to
grab mouse focus in order to grab the screen, and when the drop down is
active, it can't!  Classic.

I have also experienced erratic behavior, not slow, just erratic.

    I've tried in the past to get screenshots to demonstrate it - but have
    never managed to actually get a shot with the transient completions
    window.
