960542 - In the address bar, pressing Ctrl Backspace takes the wrong suggested address

Status: RESOLVED INACTIVE

(Firefox :: Address Bar, defect)

Description

[Nicolas Barbulesco]

Firefox 26 on Win 7.

1. I create a new tab. 
2. I type the letters "total". The suggestions appear. 
3. I press the Down arrow. Firefox selects the first entry "www.gallimard.fr/Catalogue/GALLIMARD/Art-et-Artistes/L-OEuvre-d-art-totale/". 
4. I press again the Down arrow. Firefox selects the second entry "www.gallimard.fr/Catalogue/GALLIMARD/Art-et-Artistes/L-OEuvre-d-art-totale". 
5. I press Ctrl Backspace. 

* Expected behaviour : * 

5a. The text "totale" gets deleted. 

* Actual behaviour : * 

5b1. Firefox takes the first entry now. I have the slash at the end now. 
5b2. And the text "totale/" gets selected instead of being deleted. This is the bug 960522.

Thank you for correcting all of this.

I'm not able to have the 2 entries (with and without /) in the history list of the location bar to reproduce the issue, only the URL with / at the end is displayed.

Can you test again with FF31, please.

In Firefox 31, with a clean profile, on Win 7 :

a) I delete the History. 
b) I go to the address : www.gallimard.fr/Catalogue/GALLIMARD/Art-et-Artistes/L-OEuvre-d-art-totale 
c) I go to the address : www.gallimard.fr/Catalogue/GALLIMARD/Art-et-Artistes/L-OEuvre-d-art-totale/ 
d) I go to : www.perdu.com 
e) I do the steps of the description : --> comment 0. 

 --> I reproduce the bug.
