>>> My Info: Win7_64, Nightly 49, 32bit, ID 20160526082509 STR_1: 1. Open url data:text/html,<div class="menu"><a class="menu_item"></a><a class="menu_item"></a> 2. Open inspector 3. Type ".menu" in search field in inspector 4. Press Enter AR: Inspector replaces typed text with autocomplete suggestion ".menu_item" ER: Inspector should find first occurrence of ".menu" STR_2: (no bug; reference of good behavior) 1. Open url data:text/html,<div class="menu"><a class="menu_item"></a> 2. Open inspector 3. Type ".menu" in search field in inspector 4. Press Enter AR: Inspector finds first occurrence of ".menu" (just as expected; compare this to STR_1) STR_3: 1. Open url data:text/html,<html class="S"> 2. Open inspector 3. Type ".S " in search field in inspector 4. Press Enter AR: Inspector replaces typed text with autocomplete suggestion ".S body" ER: Inspector should find first occurrence of ".S" Note: (STR_3) Most of the times I doubleclick classname in markup to edit it, then doubleclick to select one of classes like "long-class-name" separated by " "s, then focus search field, type ".", press Ctrl+V, then press Enter. Too often classname is copied with " " in the end, so I run into this bug. I'm not sure which workflow was planned by Firefox developers (and not sure if STR_3 is considered as valid bug), but suggestions in inspector are even more aggressive than in the new broken searchbar.
