Package: icedove
Version: 31.7.0-1~deb8u1
Severity: important

Hello,
                in the current stable version of icedove, autocompletion
does too much, to the point of not letting you send a message to the
address you want.
Assume you have an addess such as
foo....@test.ee
in your Address Book.
Suppose now you want to write a mail to
b...@test.ee
and start to type it.
At some point the autocompletion proposes foo....@test.ee, which is fine as a
suggestion.  Trouble is that there is no way to get rid of it and select
the desired (shorter) address.  No delete, retype, active editing of the
address line works: as soon as the user moves out of the address line with
any of enter / tab / mouse click elsewhere / mouse focus on other window / ...
the address gets auto-"corrected" to the unwanted foo....@test.ee

Of course the trivial workaround is deleting the foo....@test.ee contact in
the Address Book, but in practice a user may not be willing to delete a
potentially useful contact.

I set the preference to important since it makes the program partly
unusable to its main purpose: sending mails to desired addresses.

Thanx!
                Nick
