1187747 - Addressbar doesn't load page with search results after you delete autocomplete with BackSpace (always reproducible)

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1054914

(Firefox :: Address Bar, defect)

Description

[arni2033]

STR:
1. Create new Nightly profile
2. Visit https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/ so that it would be saved in history
3. Type "b" in addressbar
[you'll be suggested to go to bugzilla.mozilla.org]
4. Delete the selected part "ugzilla.mozilla.org" with BackSpace(!)
5. Press Enter

RESULT:
Nothing happened

EXPECTATIONS:
Page with search results with query "b" should show up.

NOTES:
1. If I press Spacebar after step 5, then the page with search results actually loads.
2. The same happens if I set "b" keyword to search with Bing: I can't go to search homepage in Step 5. Note 1 solves this case as well.

Nice catch arni, deleting the selected part with the delete button works fine, but backspace also has the right to do that I think :p
