1207981 - Location bar frequently doesn't show local results

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1192505

(Firefox :: Address Bar, defect)

Description

[Mark Banner (:standard8)]

Since sometime in the 43 cycle, I'm frequently getting the case where the location bar doesn't show all its results.

Approximate STR:

1) Be running Firefox Nightly for a period of time, maybe using other applications as well.
2) Switch to Firefox, open a new tab with alt-T, enter a couple of characters (e.g. "fx" for matching fx-team) or paste a bug number.

Actual Results

=> List of results is very briefly shown, then collapses down to just "Search for ...".

Expected Results

=> List of results is shown.

If I do something like enter another character then the results are shown just fine.

At other times opening a new tab and doing a search with just two letters or a paste works fine.

I'm using latest nightly with e10s enabled.

by chance do you move the mouse on the autocomplete popup while typing?

I hadn't noticed that I was doing that before, but I've just had it occur again, and realised I was moving the mouse. I also tried it a couple more times and moving the mouse on the popup does indeed cause this.

cool, at least we know what it is.
