109006 - completion should catch up when "tab" is pressed

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: Location Bar, defect)

Description

[John Levon]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.5+) Gecko/20011107
BuildID:    Tuesday CVS

the completion dropdown lags behind typing speed in the url
bar (for performance I suppose).

However, when I press tab, it should update to the current
url bar contents.

currently I can type "http://bugzilla", pause, ".mozill" -tab
and it will complete to http://bugzilla.abisource.com/


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. visit bugzilla.mozilla.org and bugzilla.abisource.com
2. in url bar type "http://bugzilla" and wait for url bar to complete
3. type ".mozill" then quickly tab

Actual Results:  went to bugzilla.abisource.com

Expected Results:  go to bugzilla.mozilla.org

confirming with 2001110804 mac OSX build. setting platforms to All/All

good bug.

In step 3 it is only necessary to type 'm' then -tab to see the bug.

wow, I have to type reeeeally fast to make this happen on my win2k box, but I
guess on a slower box this would be more severe.

I get this on my Celeron 633 Linux system. I have a non-accelerated graphics
card that's slow as hell ;)

It didn't take anything extraordinary on a 533Mhz G4 Mac

worksoforme with linux seamonkey 1.0b build 2005121500.  I can only see the bug by hitting tab so quickly that (arguably) I'm hitting the letter and tab at the same time.

everyone who saw this bug seems to be gone
