1294110 - Awesome bar unexpectedly performs search when mouse cursor on a search engine icon when enter is pressed

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1293300

(Firefox :: Address Bar, defect)

Description

[Honza Bambas (:mayhemer)]

STR:
- have mouse cursor at a position that will later match position of a search engine icon in the awesome bar autocomplete area
- type few words to the address bar to search for your favorite bookmarked page, results show up
- check the mouse cursor is over any of the search provider icons at the bottom of the results
- press the down arrow to focus a _page_ result you want (it's now visibly selected for load)
- press enter to perform the load

Actual result:
- search is performed with the phrase I've typed
- this is also a huge privacy leak because I don't want the phrase go to any search engine

Expected:
- load of the page I focused in the history/bookmark results list is loading


I don't know the bug# that introduced the search provider icons in search results, but this is definitely a regression from it.

Not the first time we automatically focus something when mouse cursor happens to be hovering!
