no suggested email addresses popping up when I start writing in the 'to' box
I am on Thunderbird 29.0 - got upgraded to a beta version unintentionally.
Now, when I start typing in an address when writing an email no names pop up, even though the beginning letters clearly refer to an address or name in my address book. Every email address has to be typed in from scratch. only red letters appear. Problem.
