Dial shortcuts - how do I unable?

Hello

After FW update I have discovered a new behaviour on my E71-1.

I have "home" window contact search enabled, and when I write "hjem" - which is a post in my contact list - the phone starts typing a predefined number as soon as I have written two letters.

After doing som testing I spotted that this happens for several of my contacts with the second letter "j". In fact it happens with all my contacts starting with letters resided on the number buttons. This lead me further to that it is probably a shortcut behind all "number" + "#" ("j"😉 typing (ie 1#, 2#.... and finally to 6# which caused the problem initially...)

Am I right? Is there a way to unable this?

I can see exactly what you mean. Pressing a number key and then the hash key seems to start dialling a sim contact. I can't seem to find a way to turn it off.
