[Kolab-devel] [issue1941] slow LDAP server lookup clears the To: field

[Ludwig Reiter]

New submission from Ludwig Reiter <ludwig at intevation.de>:

proko2 2.1.10 

A user creates a new mail and uses the LDAP search to enter some email address.
Meanwhile the LDAP search on the slow server is going on.
Then the slow LDAP search is finished and the To: field, which is already filled
by the user with some email-addresses is cleared.
This is a wrong behaviour. A slow LDAP search shouldn't clear already inserted
email addresses. A "slow" LDAP server needs minimum of 5 seconds for a search. 

To reproduce a slow LDAP server is needed. One way to simulate on is to pipe
thru ssh with something like this:
ssh -L20000:kolab.intevation.de:389 -R20001:localhost:20000
-L20001:localhost:20001 -R20002:localhost:20001 -L20002:localhost:20002
-R20003:localhost:20002 -L20003:localhost:20003 -R20004:localhost:20003
-L20004:localhost:20004 -R20005:localhost:20004 -L20005:localhost:20005
-R20006:localhost:20005 -L20006:localhost:20006 -R20007:localhost:20006
-L20007:localhost:20007 -R20008:localhost:20007 -L20008:localhost:20008
-R20009:localhost:20008 -L20009:localhost:20009 -R20010:localhost:20009
-L20010:localhost:20010 -R20011:localhost:20010 -L20011:localhost:20011
-R20012:localhost:20011 -L20012:localhost:20012 -R20013:localhost:20012
-L20013:localhost:20013 -R20014:localhost:20013 -L20014:localhost:20014
-R20015:localhost:20014 -L20015:localhost:20015 -R20016:localhost:20015
-L20016:localhost:20016 -R20017:localhost:20016 -L20017:localhost:20017
-R20018:localhost:20017 -L20018:localhost:20018 -R20019:localhost:20018
-L20019:localhost:20019 -R20020:localhost:20019 -L20020:localhost:20020
