Yes.

I think it would be cleaner if the initial *Completions* buffer always
contained the whole address -- e.g.
Bob Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Bob Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Then, the user who initially completes on "bob" would immediately know
there were two different "Bob Smith" records. It'd be fine if it was
simultaneously completing on the name and the net addr portions of the
addresses.
It is when the initial completing-read is immediately followed by
another completing-read that is confusing -- you expect
bbdb-complete-name to keep showing you the list of possible
completions in the *Completions* buffer until you're done, not for it
to enter a 2nd completing-read while keeping the first *Completions*
buffer visible.
Wow, I just had a case where the whole address *was* in the
*Completions* buffer. BBDB is full of surprises. :-)
