The autocomplete feature of the mail address field is very convenient,
unless the typist is slow. Since I have never cleared the Collected
Addresses list, I have thousands of entries, so if I type one
character in the mail address field, SeaMonkey immediately begins
searching for that one character. The result is what seems like a
hang, until the search completes a couple of minutes later. The same
thing happens if I backspace to correct my typing and stop with one
character left.
Could we introduce a lag so that SM does not begin searching until,
say, 1500 ms of inactivity? Alternatively, could we require at least
two characters before the search activates? (I think the second option
would work better, but I'm not a programmer so I don't know what's
easy to code)
FYI the timeout currently used is 300ms (for comparison the default is
50ms but the search bar uses 250ms).
Thanks. For practical purposes, I find that too short. YMMV.
Is it user-selectable via about:config?
