Severity: normal → blocker
Keywords: useless-UI

On Mac I can't reproduce if I tap the go icon with the trackpad, but if I actually click I can reproduce. On linux I can reproduce both with tapping and clicking. My guess is that when the panel gets hidden the mousedown event gets consumed, which prevents the click event from reaching the button.
We're not going to be able to fix this in 34. I have marked 35+ for tracking. I have also dropped severity and the useless-ui keyword.
We're not going to get much traction here without a regression window - wontfix for 35 as we're too late in the cycle. Leaving tracking for 36 in case the regression range is found and a fix provided.
I think this regressed with bug 1088660 and was covered by a previous version of the fix in bug 1103455 covered this, but we simplified the patch to reduce risk for 35. This may get fixed as a side effect of bug 1114707.
I can reproduce this bug on 34, but on my trunk build I see a different behavior: the click on the go button loads the search in the current tab, but then the search panel reopens. Dave, do you know what's going on here?

Dave, do you know what's going on here? I'm guessing that this was fixed by bug 1102050

So the panel reopening would be a new separate bug? (possibly caused by bug 1106101?)
(In reply to Florian Quèze [:florian] [:flo] from comment #7) > So the panel reopening would be a new separate bug? (possibly caused by bug > 1106101?) Ah yes, pretty similar to bug 1118135. Though probably we just shouldn't be opening the popup at all when clicking on the go icon so probably worth a new bug.
