1187458 - about:home stays in address bar of Firefox for Android when touched for typing

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1038996

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: Keyboards and IME, defect)

Description

[deadrat]

Attachment: screenshot when the issue occured. It shows how the address bar text is when something is pasted in it.

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Android; Tablet; rv:39.0) Gecko/39.0 Firefox/39.0
Build ID: 20150625230915
Firefox for Android

Steps to reproduce:

Open Firefox for Android on a 7 inch or 8 inch tablet running Android 4.4.2. 
Click on the address bar of Firefox to enter / paste text. 


Actual results:

Now the text about:home is selected , so if input is typed it is fine. But if the user is trying to paste a search term or URL, "about:home" gets deselected. 

It works as it should only if the user long pressed the selected text. But if pressed on a empty area in address bar, this issue occurs. 


Expected results:

"about:home" must have disappeared so that users can conveniently type or paste into the address bar.
