764034 - Form autocomplete text is not inserted when used twice in a row

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, defect, P3)

Description

[Chris Peterson [:cpeterson]]

STR:
1. My form autocomplete history has two entries and one is a prefix of the other: "hello" and "hello world".
2. In Fennec, tap input focus to a text input form.
3. From autocomplete popup, select the prefix entry "hello".
4. Then, without enter any other text or spaces, select the longer entry "hello world".

ER:
"hello world"

AR:
"hello"

The popup closes, but "hello world" is not inserted in the form. logcat does not show any interesting IME messages, so I suspect the autocomplete text is discarded in Gecko or browser.js before reaching Java.

For autocomplete has been re-enabled in Nightly 17, so this "can't use autocomplete popup twice in a row" bug is reproducible again.

Issue is still reproducible on Firefox Mobile 16.0b6 using the Samsung Galaxy R running Android 2.3.4

I cannot reproduce reproduce this issue on the latest Beta, Aurora or Nightly builds. Chris, can you still reproduce this?

However, it still occurs on all branches.

Christian, what IME are you using? With Nightly 19 on my Galaxy Nexus, I can repro with stock VKB, but not Swype VKB.

I am using the Samsung Keyboard. Now I am able to reproduce this on the latest Nightly.

I cannot reproduce this issue on Firefox for Aurora 23 or Nightly 24 (2013-05-23 builds). Still affected on Firefox for Android 22 Beta 2.
