That is when completion doesn´t work at all. But even if you install this
package I usually sometimes still see that it doesn´t autocomplete unless I
type something, delete it, type again.
Interestingly enough completion it appears to work just fine on my private
KMail without that work-around. But during work days this week I found it
still needed that delete to beginning of input field work-around at my work
KMail. I wonder what the difference in this is.
I didn´t fully read up through the latest state of the upstream bug report. I
found another one, where someone, if I remember correctly, writes it may be
fixed by either KDEPIM 16.08 or Qt 5.7, don´t remember exactly anymore.
[kmail2] [Bug 356431] New: no address autocompletion
https://bugs.kde.org/356431
But well KDEPIM 16.08 will still take some time. It needs Qt Web Engine that
is still in the process of being packages as far as I know. Its a complex
thing to package a new web engine and it appears even more so with Qt Web
Engine, as, as far as I understood what I read in #debian-qt-kde IRC channel,
to build it you almost need everything to build a chrome/chromium browser.
