1383566 - Pressing the slash key in a textfield in preferences focuses the preferences search field

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1381032

(Firefox :: Settings UI, defect)

Description

[Markus Stange [:mstange]]

[Tracking Requested - why for this release]: regression from preferences search field

Steps to reproduce:
 1. Install the Gecko Profiler add-on from https://perf-html.io/ .
 2. Go to about:addons, find the Gecko Profiler add-on, and go to the addon's preferences.
 3. Try to change the URL in the "Profile viewer URL" text field from https://perf-html.io to http://localhost:4242 .

Expected results:
I should be able to type out the full URL without interruption.

Actual results:
When you type a forward slash during that process, the text field loses focus and instead you're now typing into the search field in the top right corner.

Track 56+ in bug 1381032 instead of tracking 56 here.

Fixed in the original bug.

Gerry, for bugs like this, can you mark the duplicates as fixed?  If they are left affected, they still show up on the release health/new regressions dashboard that shows in all the offices.  

It shouldn't matter if we track them or not, except, if the bug is reopened, and we aren't tracking it, then we won't see it in our tracking queries. That's why I track some bugs where there is a tracking request, but the bug is already fixed.
