Since TB upgraded to 68, when I want to write a new email and start typing the name of the person in the address bar TB starts completing it with addresses in any address book my collected addresses instead of the address book I have selected as default. Since it is most likely that I want to write someone in my default address book rather than anyone I have ever corresponded with, this is very inconvenient. There could be 10 addresses that start with "Jan" and my friend "Janet Smith", the only one in my default address book, is the last one in the list. What is the purpose of the default address book setting if it isn't used by default, and is there any way I can fix this?

The address books that are searched by autocomplete can be specified with the MRC Compose add-on.
