1024481 - Clipboard erased when using "find" function

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 1020743

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[David Girard]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.9; rv:30.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/30.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20140605174243

Steps to reproduce:

Was trying to find some text in a page, ran into that bug (reproducible, using FF 30.0 on OS X Mavericks):
1) Open a web page
2) Highlight and copy some text from that page (command-C)
3) Hit command-F, type whatever you want in the find box
=> The text you initially copied in the clipboard will be erased/replaced by whatever you typed in the find box


Actual results:

Clipboard erased by what the user types in the find box, while the user doesn't use the copy or cut command


Expected results:

The clipboard should remain unchanged, there's no reason for the clipboard to be replaced by the content of the find box
