No autocomplete, I always have to return to v38.5.1 to get it to work
When updating to 45.x.x I lose the autocomplete facility. The setting appear to be correct as they are the same as 38.5.1 as far as I can tell, certainly the facility to request this are the same, but 45.1. and 45.2 do not work.

When updating to 45.x.x I lose the autocomplete facility.
Please explain in detail what that means.
45.x.x means V45. anything. anything In my case it was 45.1.1 and 45.2.0
Sorry I thought that was a standard way to express the both versions mentioned.

The question was rather about the 'I lose the autocomplete facility' part.
Lose means it was not there or in this case it was not working?
I have never seen autocomplete be native to Thunderbird. Do you have an add on installed to do this for you? If so maybe it needs updating or a message to the add on author to fix it.
To the best of my knowledge I do not have anything extra to offer me a choice if there are similar addresses, I call this facility auto complete. If I enter "kim" while using v38 it offers me a choice of email addresses starting with those letters while v45.1 and V45.2 do not, I have to type the whole address.
For the Address Fields. I thought you wanted the composition window to work like a cell phone and complete your typed message for you.
Under Options-Composition-Adressing do you have anything checked?
Attached is a screen print of what you are talking about, all options are ticked, I have tried each one separately all and none, although I did not think it would work without being ticked, but I thought I would try in any case.
There is no screenshot.

I can figure that much. What I want to know from you is
- what you're doing
- what happens
- what you expect to happen
Can't be that hard.
I fail to understand what you want from me?
1/- Simply writing email to send, is my objective. 2/- Simply I want auto suggest to work on the email address field. 3/- It does not happen but Options-Composition-Addressing has been configured in order for this facility to work. 4/- I expect it to work, but it does not in v45.x.x but it has previously and will work again if I return to v38.5.1, I have Win 10 installed 64bit version I have a i5 processor with 8G memory. 5/- I have also discovered that the uploading of my files to this site never actually complete? That is something else and I will try to upload to another site as I do not normally get this problem. 6/- Sorry about the file that was not uploaded but as I explained I was trying all settings on that page to see if anything made a difference.
If I uncheck "local address book " under Options-Composition-Addressing / .. look for matching entries in... I get a red pointer and have to write the entire address.
If you have "MoreFunctionsForAddressBook" installed with version < 0.7.4.1 then you need to update it. https://freeshell.de//~kaosmos/morecols-en.html
