Address auto-completion using display name can not be used with special characters. For example, if I have contacts like : [Work] Bob weirdaddress@domain.tld [Football] John dumbaddress@domain.tld I can't auto-complete their address unless I know the beginning of the email address itself. I got no idea whether or not this would be difficult to improve.
implemented in version 3.9.3
Not exactly, I think. The search now matches even if the characters entered are not the beginning of the name or the email address. The special characters are ignored. So, with my example, I can now enter "work" or "bob", but adding "[" won't make any difference. In practice, this is just as good, probably even better, so as a matter of fact, this is fixed for me. Thanks.
