Display type:		 ATI Technologies Inc Rage 128 SM/4x AGP 4x

Shell:			/bin/athena/tcsh

What were you trying to do?
	When composing a message, I was filling out the "To:" or "Cc:"
	fields and using the autocompletion feature there.

What's wrong:
	As I type the recipient's name, a pull-down list of their
	available email adresses appears. If I try to navigate this list
	using the keyboard, I can't select a name on the list and have
	the list go away. In fact, evolution grabs the focus and won't
	let go. Interestingly, I can use keyboard shortcuts to navigate
	to different workspaces, but I can't grab the focus and use any
	of the windows. I have to login on a tty, punt evolution, and
	then the focus works fine again on the X server.

What should have happened:
	I should be able to navigate, select, and close the pulldown
	list using the keyboard.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
