1311653 - Content one-offs do not use the correct query when a suggestion is hovered

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Search, defect)

Description

[Alessio Placitelli [:Dexter]]

When using One-Off searches in about:home or about:newtab, if you happen to hover a suggestion before clicking a one-off button, the suggestion text is used instead of the typed query to perform the search.

STR
- Navigate to about:home
- Type something in the search field and wait for the suggestions to pop up
- Hover (do not click!) on a suggestion
- Click on any one-off engine
- The engine will search using the suggestion text (expected: search using the user query)

I actually thought we were doing the opposite, thus if you select a one-off and then click on a suggestion we'd use the suggestion.
Is the behavior different from the searchbar?

Mh, nope. I can't seem to reproduce the other way around that you mentioned.

Yes, it works correctly in the searchbar.

Too late for firefox 52, mass-wontfix.

This WFM on the latest nightly (70.0a1), I suspect something changed in the last few years.
