Autocompletion suggestions (selectable only with mouse)

Hello there,

   I am using claws mail since about one year under ubuntu and it gave me no problems under either 10.10 or 11.04. However, on a fresh install of 11.11 I noticed two odd behaviours under gnome shell:

1. The program always starts in a minimised window.
2. It is impossible to select an address from the suggested autocompletion using the arrows keys and Enter, as it was under gnome2. Even more interestingly, the autocompletion suggestions remain floating on top of any other window if the message is closes.

I attached a couple of screenshots that might help understanding my description better.

I was just drafting a bug report for this too; I can confirm this behaviour, although I am not running gnome-shell (using awesome window manager / lightdm). 

The behaviour is the same under the default ubuntu install (unity / lightdm)

version of claws i use is 3.7.10cvs27

I've noticed this also on Ubuntu 11.10, although only on my dual-headed machine.  On my single-headed laptop, arrow key + RET selection works fine.  Both are running Ubuntu 2D shell.

Hi guys,

That should be fixed in 3.7.10cvs57.
