I think that removing the electric command loop does not remove any
useful functionality from BBDB.
The second patch ensures proper cleanup after using
bbdb-complete-mail with a *Completions* buffer.

Remove electric mode that was not providing any new functionality
to BBDB. Also see GNU Emacs Bug#11983.
* lisp/bbdb.el (bbdb-electric, bbdb-inside-electric-display)
(bbdb-quit-window, bbdb-electric-display-records)
(bbdb-electric-throw, bbdb-quit-window)
(bbdb-display-records-internal): Remove.
(bbdb-display-records): Remove arg electric. Merge with
bbdb-display-records-internal.
(bbdb-redisplay-records): Use bbdb-display-records.
* lisp/bbdb-com.el (bbdb-mail, bbdb-mail-address, bbdb-info):
Remove electricity.
(bbdb-mail-abbrev-expand-hook): Use bbdb-display-records.
* lisp/bbdb-mua.el (bbdb-mua-display-records)
(bbdb-mua-auto-update): Use bbdb-display-records.
2012-08-11 Roland Winkler <wink...@gnu.org>
* lisp/bbdb-com.el (bbdb-complete-mail-cleanup): New function.
(bbdb-complete-mail): Use it. In particular, clean up also when
using *Completions* buffer.
