Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Firefox :: Address Bar, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.6b) Gecko/20040102 Firebird/0.7+

The Auto-complete option for Firebird doesn't work.   To be more specific, it
works once but after that it doesn't appear at all.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to http://www.google.com
2.Type in a search that you've done before
3.Repeat

Actual Results:  
Form Auto-Complete works the first time, but never again after that.

Expected Results:  
keep auto-completing.

I'm almost positive it's the checkins listed as the URL for this bug.  The
builds from 12/30 work fine, but after 12/31 the autocomplete is broken.

James Ross: no, http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=43320 is about
inline autocomplete (bug 186136 or bug 210932).

Stopped working after 2003-12-23 on Firebird on Mac OS X.  I cleaned the profile
and fully reinstalled the latest Firebird 2004-01-06.  Reseting the Autocomplete
preference in Options or through about:config does not resolve the issue.  Just
downloaded 2003-12-01 (oldest available in Nightlies) and it works with the
recently entered form data appears through this build.  It definitely got broken
and didn't get fixed yet.  Currently using "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac
OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.6b) Gecko/20031201 Firebird/0.7+" on Mac OS X 10.3
Panther for working Autocomplete functionality.  I can confirm that it worked in
early December 2003 builds on Mac OS X 10.2 Jaguar.

Over to Ben, since he did the checkin.
Hardware/OS = All
This is a serious regression on both trunk and branch and should better be fixed
before the release.

My experience matches Jose's in bug 230443, not WD's in comment 0 of this bug. 
Autocomplete works in the first tab but not in other tabs.

This WFM, with build 20040114, Windows XP :-)

Ben checked in a fix.
But since no patch is attached to this bug, I guess it's technically WFM.

-> WFM

No, its Fixed, regardless of a patch being attached.

Comment 11

[José Jeria]

After further testing this doesnt seem to be completely fixed. For some reason,
that i havent figured out how to reproduce, the autocomplete stops working after
a while.

hm. if autocomplete is still buggy, try and figure out a series of steps to
reproduce and file a new bug.

[Jean-Marc]

José, be sure that it ain't off-screen (other bug !) : "arrow down" before
TABbing to the next field. I was nearly caught myself thinking that autocomplete
wasn't there.

[José Jeria]

It wasnt off-screen, it was bugzilla. Though I tried hard to reproduce, I cant
do it anymore. Will comment here if I found any way to reproduce.
