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?
No, it's not, sorry.
