this nothing directly to Icedove related, as seen this comes from the glib package. It happens because there is a pointer not initialized. But not related to your bug report. > Then a small dialog opens: I tick no options which would permanently change > settings, and click to "Continue in safe mode". icedove starts ok, although > with a window size different from usual. > I tested the autocompletion problem, and it is still present as detailed in > my report. ... > >Did this happen if you start with a new profile? > > Yes.

There is a long entry in the Mozilla Bugtracker, please read the full report. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=529584 You typing a email address directly, that's not the meaning of a address book. The logic inside the search is first trying to find all addresses starting with '*bar' not 'bar' and this even if you have typed 'bar@' because 'foo.bar@' is also matches there. Next the search is looking into a internal popular database to find out which entry is used most. But you can combine various part into the address field and the search logic will try to automatically find possible entrys from the address book as it's not only searching for a excat email address. So for example you can combine parts of a given (first or last) name with the top-level domain. This works here in various configurations, I have always found the needed entry from the dynamically created drop down list. More often you write to the same address this address will placed on top. If you still disagree then please create a new entry on the Mozilla Bugtracker and provide the URL to the entry (so we can track the Mozilla Bugreport) as your complaining is about a upstream related thing and not Debian specific. Otherwise you can add a hint into the Debian Wiki site. But from my (our) point of view this is still no bug.
