[imp] Strange behavior expanding address

Some time ago, we have found a strange behavior during IMP Compose address expansion,
and now I find the same thing in the current stable release IMP 4.1.3.

In few words, I configured the personal address book for address expansion, and also a default domain to be appended as 
fully qualified domain name for the unmatched addresses.

So when I compose a new message, and I follow exactly this step below, I found this strange behavior:

  1) first, I wrote in the To field, and I expand this such an address (with 'tab' char)  from personal address book
	-> all go right!

  2) then I append a new address in the same To field, and I expand such an address that it isn't in the personal 
address book
	-> correctly, the default domain is appended as fully qualified domain name
	-> but very strange: each space char in the description of the address expanded at the first step is replaced with a dot.

  3) then I append another new address in the same field, and I expand such an address that it isn't in the personal 
address book

	-> very strange I got this warning:  'The field "to" can't be expanded.
	

Anyone knows if this behavior is wanted or not ?


Thanks a lot.
