Now that we are handling click events inside the search-one-offs binding, our click handler is not receiving clicks from the header anymore. I wish the patch from bug 1110235 included a test.

Drew, do you see an easy way to fix this?

Pretty easy I think, just add a click handler that calls this.oneOffButtons.handleSearchCommand().  I'll write a test and then request review.

For easy reference, here's the click handler that was on the popup before the refactoring: https://hg.mozilla.org/integration/fx-team/file/82517993e1cc/browser/components/search/content/search.xml#l1408

We should fix this for 52. Once you land a patch on m-c, can you request uplift to aurora and beta? Thanks!

Comment 7

[Julien Cristau [:jcristau]]

Drew, did you get a chance to write that test?  We're running out of time to fix this in 52.

Comment 8

[Florian Quèze [:florian]]

If we are running out of time, we could land a fix without test (but with more manual QA testing) in 52.

Florian, the diff-1 to diff-2 interdiff isn't right because I rebased the patch, sorry about that.  But it's a small patch so comparing to the original shouldn't be a problem.

There's already a test for the header, so this updates that test.

the 'button.parentNode.engine' case was added in bug 1110235 to support clicking the header, so I suspect that now that this code path is (unfortunately) no longer handled in the same place as the normal one-off buttons, we can likely simplify both click handlers to have avoid this ||.

We were hoping to remove that focus magic in bug 1115009. :-(

How difficult would it be to figure out the specific cases that require manual hiding?

Also, should we do the hidePopup call after the handleSearchCommand call? I'm afraid popuphiding/popuphidden handlers may (either now, or in the future) cleanup things that handleSearchCommand depends on.

Comment 13

I copied and pasted the click handler right from the revision before the one-off refactoring for the urlbar landed (https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/annotate/82517993e1cc/browser/components/search/content/search.xml) -- not sure if that was clear.  So I went back and looked at the blame for that comment, and it's bug 1110771.  Bug 1110771 comment 3:

I removed the hidePopup() and I couldn't reproduce this problem on Windows (7) or Mac.  So... whatever was the problem there, it's not happening anymore...?

Bug 1110771 comment 21 describes similar problems with the context menu by the way, but they aren't this problem.

We removed that hidePopup() and that comment in bug 1316863.

Welp, this landed too late for Fx52. But we should probably get this uplifted to Aurora for 53 at least. And maybe we can consider it for ESR52 approval during the upcoming cycle too.
