           Summary: Composer: Focus jumps in auto-completion drilldown
                    when matching results from LDAP search are added later
           Product: kmail
           Version: 1.12.2
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: rkrell at gmx.net


Version:           1.12.2 (using 4.3.1 (KDE 4.3.1) "release 168",
KDE:KDE4:Factory:Desktop / openSUSE_Factory)
Compiler:          gcc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.31-10-desktop

In composer, when I type addresses in the To:/CC:/Bcc: edit fields by typing
the first letters of an address quickly and the drilldown with auto-completed
addresses opens, the currently marked address from the auto-completion changes
when additional matching results from an LDAP search come in.

If I mark an entry and don't press enter to choose it before the LDAP matches
come in occasionally, that entry is shift one or more positions towards the
end, while the marking changes too (which is bad).

For instance, assume typing "ab" in the To: field gives me three addresses in
the offered dropdown:
- abc at domain.com
- abd at domain.com < chosen mark
- abe at domain.com
I choose the second one, abd at domain.com with the up/down keys. While that,
additional entries are searched in background from LDAP. Now, assume there is
an additional matching entry from the LDAP search:
- aba at domain.com
which is inserted at the beginning of the drilldown box.
Thus, the drilldown list is now:
- aba at domain.com
- abc at domain.com < new mark
- abd at domain.com
- abe at domain.com
Currently, the original marking of abd at domain.com gets lost and the "new"
second entry, abd at domain.com, is marked instead, which is confusing.

I would expect the entry I marked already to stay marked in that case, and the
mark is shifted together with the entry.
