Details

(Whiteboard: [vkb]) 

STR:
1. In AwesomeBar, enter some URL-like text such as "example.com".
2. Press and hold the DELETE key to erase the text.

AR:
The "e.com" suffix will be deleted, but then the delete will stop when the AwesomeBar switch from Go to Search mode.

ER:
The DELETE key should repeat and let you erase all the text.

I believe the problem is that the InputMethodManager drops buffered key events when we call imm.restartInput() to switching modes.

I believe this bug has affected code which causes my filed bug 725298 where I dont always see characters visibly drawn in the URL field. It tends to happen when modes are switched from "Search" to "Go".
Triage, this bug needs a priority.
