107744 - location bar autocomplete does not show list of matching results

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: Autocomplete, defect, P1)

Description

[Phil Pishioneri]

I have autocomplete enabled to "Show list of matching results", but
I'm not longer getting the drop down list.

Build is 2001103021 on linux.  The (immediately?) previous build
of 2001103012 did not have this problem.

Deleting my XUL.mfasl file did not help.  I tried toggling the
options a few times, no change.  The pref for "autocomplete best
match as you type" still appears to work.

I'm not seeing any errors on Mozilla's console or in the javascript
console window.

Confirming the bug on Linux 2001103021. You can get the autocompleted URL into
the URL bar by pressing the DOWN key but the autocomplete select dropdown never
appears automatically. (If you press the button for drop down it appears but it
has a different content.)

Probably not helpful, but I've noticed, sometimes the search part of the
dropdown comes up, but only for a second, and it just disapears. Seems random as
to the few times when it does come up for that second.

Fix checked in 2001-11-01 20:14 PDT.

For the record, this was a regression due to the patch on bug 107534.

Verified on recent builds
However, this patch or other patches made a regression, icons in search
autocomplete are gone. Filed bug 108184 to cover this

Mozilla keeps forgetting my links in the urlbar
This behaviour was appearing on builds dated 2 weeks ago, while builds this week
definitely broke this and later was "fixed"
Bug 108281 was filed
