Gmail users have been affected by a bug, as it seems, in its 'auto-complete' feature as it's sending emails to wrong contacts. This feature allows inserting names of people in the 'To' field whom the user mails frequently.
But the bug is prioritising some contacts that are less frequently used. The problem has been reported by New York City venture capitalist Fred Wilson as he wrote that he received a bunch of emails that were actually not meant for him. People are complaining about the bug all over Twitter too, as reported by Business Insider.
But all Gmail users are not facing the problem. Google has acknowledged the issue via its Twitter post and said that it is already looking into it. Users have been asked to stay tuned till the issue is resolved. Gmail's Twitter post reads, “We're aware of an issue with Gmail and auto-complete and are currently investigating. Apologies for any inconvenience.”
Later one more post said, “Thanks again for your patience everyone re: Gmail and auto-complete. We've identified the issue and are working on a fix. Stay tuned.”
