Interesting bug. No, Dan. You’re not the only one. Benny, it is strange.

This is on my MBP 15,1 (2019) running OS12.3.1(21E258). Just went through it. Weird for me as well. Must say I never noticed differences but <tab> is involved as well. I used to use <tab> to jump the entry fields (moving from the To: to Bcc:, etc.) in Mail with a comma between addresses in one field where multiple addresses were involved. Now, <return> seems best, but the actions are not consistent.

For me on MM 1.14(r5895) in a new Composer window, I can replicate the To, CC, BCC Fields, <comma> doesn’t work intuitively or reliably.

The <TAB> key works fine to complete the entry - completes one address when I start typing a few letters in the field, then moves the cursor to the next field (whether CC:, Bcc: or Subject:).

In short in terms of reliably working, a <return> is most reliable for multiple addresses on the same line. It accepts the automatic fill-in and moves to the next address to fill in as I expect it should. A <comma> OTOH, produces problems for me with subsequent entries, erasure - using <delete> on the line no longer works well. Deleting turns off the automatic fill-in functions.

I can make you a video of what happens if you need it.

Could this be because in Mail the functions of <return> and <tab> are more or less opposite? MM seems heavily intertwined with system standards.

Respectfully,

Normally, when composing a message, I start typing the address in the To: line, and once the autocompletion has gotten to the address I want, I press comma. Most mail clients, including Mailmate until recently, treat this as "accept this autocomplete", finish the address, and let me start another.

However, Mailmate now just ignores the keypress of the comma. Makes typing addresses for new messages really irritating.

Am I the only one with this problem?

No, I looked into this issue yesterday, but I was unable to resolve it. It seems to have been triggered by compiling MailMate with a newer release of Xcode (r5882 -> r5883) on Monterey. Right now I simply don't know how to fix it, but I'll probably take another look. For now, you'll have to get used to hitting Enter instead.
