1383527 - Using '%s' in the contextmenu title field returns '...' extra

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1370228

(WebExtensions :: Frontend, defect)

Description

[Jimmy]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:56.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/56.0
Build ID: 20170722030204

Steps to reproduce:

Create a new WebExtension (to add an option to a selection context menu), and use '%s' in the title field to quote the user's selected text.

background.js:
browser.contextMenus.create({
  id: "log-selection",
  title: "Log '%s' to the console",
  contexts: ["selection"]
});

browser.contextMenus.onClicked.addListener(function(info, tab) {
  if (info.menuItemId == "log-selection") {
    console.log(info.selectionText);
  }
});

Load into Firefox, mark text and rightclick.


Actual results:

For example, if I mark:
abcdefg

I would get:
Log 'abcdefg...' to the console


Expected results:

The marked text should be replicated exactly by using %s in the title, without adding '...' at the end:
Log 'abcdefg' to the console
