Well, in some mailers, if there is only one completion than that completion is inserted immediately, without the user needing to hit an additional key (like TAB).This always annoys me in Internet Explorer since it means you can't just type "foo[RET]" to go to www.foo.com if you have "foot.com" in your history. I guess this is less likely with email addresses ("bob foo com" vs "bob foo compaq com"?)
Yeah I agree with you there. Since I don't use IE much anymore I'd sorta forgotten how annoying that is.
Eric Lambart says:What I would REALLY like is the whole contact autofill to be a lot faster. With only 174 cards (many of which don't have email addresses but still show up in the "Select Contact from Addressbook" compose dialog) it takes many seconds to come up with a single name most of the time (PII-350, 256MB, RH 7.1).Um... it should be pretty much instantaneous, I think. Something's broken there.
Hmmm... I've just been dealing with it, assuming the DB-lookup routine was really thick (as in molasses) code and not wanting to bitch about it (at least not until 1.0 is released). In the same component (addressbook) I've got another, similar symptom of slowness: if I go to the "Select Contacts from Addressbook" dialog from a compose window, and double-click on one of the contacts, it can take up to 4 seconds for the contact to get shifted onto the right side, and removed from the list on the left. I just tried it now to count the seconds and the first one I clicked was almost instantaneous, then it got slower and slower. I'm not sure if it gets slower as I select more contacts, or if it has to do with the position of the sequential position of the selected contact in the DB (since it's sorted by name I don't know which is the first or last record etc.) But it's really bad. I've taken to multiple-selecting (w/Ctrl key) of contacts and then hitting the "BCC" or whatever button to move them over. That takes a really loooooooooong time but at least I can select them all quickly. --Eric -- This message was created in a Microsoft-free computing environment.
