1057520 - Ctrl+Backspace in address bar does not delete autocompletion

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 246237

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[Vladimir Panteleev]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:31.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/31.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20140716183446

Steps to reproduce:

In a new Firefox profile:

1. Type "example.com" in the address bar, press Enter.
2. Type "exa" in the address bar. Firefox will autocomplete to "example.com/", selecting the "mple.com/" part.
3. Press Ctrl+Backspace.


Actual results:

The address bar now contains "mple.com/", a useless entry.


Expected results:

I would expect that the address bar would be cleared, as if there was no autocompletion.

Occurs with Nightly 34.0a1 (2014-08-22) as well.

Might be related to:
- Bug 960542 and bug 960522 (but does not involve pressing Down)
- Bug 719890 (this one is for Backspace, not Ctrl+Backspace, and Backspace's current behavior is at least somewhat useful)

Your bug is a dupe of bug 246237.
