Gnus: auto-complete of email addresess does not work without manually opening org-contacts then close it

DrWaleedAYousef commented 2 years ago

Description :octocat:

In gnus, at the "To" field writing an email address and pressing Tab to complete does not work unless I manually open org-contacts then close it

reproduction guide :beetle:

Start Emacs
start gnus
create an email
go to the "To" field and try to type any email address you already have in your contacts and try to auto-complete.

Observed behaviour: :eyes: :broken_heart: <>

Expected behaviour: :heart: :smile: <>

we haven't changed anything for gnus.

gnus does not load up org-contact to begin with. You'll have to make sure org-contacts gets loaded at the start of gnus. A cheap and dirty way I guess would be

(with-eval-after-load 'gnus
  (require 'org-contacts))

@lebensterben it is not only this issue, many other binding keys do not work normally in the message buffer, e.g., the navigation key b, w, etc.

lebensterben commented 2 years ago

@DrWaleedAYousef please open another issue with details. or modify this issue accordingly (needs more details)

DrWaleedAYousef commented 2 years ago

@lebensterben This issue was solvd. Now, I can auto-complete the email address anytime. Can I know what the bug was? I will close the issue as well. Thanks.
