Not completely sure where this bug belongs, but Firefox::Search is for the internal search, not any website ("Search Web search UI, default search engines and Toolkit's search service").

Roxana, can you get a regression range for Firefox, or is this a change on the facebook.com?  If a change to facebook, then we can get this to webcompat

Tested with 3 Facebook accounts and I can reproduce the issue only in my account.

Wondering is it intermittent or always reproducible with your account? Tested with my account but cannot reproduce it.

With my account is always reproducible.

I saw the video and it's about the search in facebook. Wondering which Gecko components may be related to the search functionality?

Comment 7

[Ming-Chou Shih [:stone]]

The search functionality seems to be implemented by the content. Removing an 'input' event listener on the input element breaks it.

Dennis, can you take a look please?

Comment 9

[Mike Taylor [:miketaylr]]

Roxana, if you toggle input_event_queue.supported to false, does the bug still reproduce in your profile?

[Dennis Schubert [:denschub]]

Tom, could you please have a look? I'm on PTO!

Is not reproducible with "input_event_queue.supported" set to false.

I can't reproduce precisely the same bug, but I *am* able to reproduce something similar on Linux, and on Windows 10 (the Quantum reference hardware).

1) Do a search for "testt": click the FB search bar, type "testt", seems to be working.
2) Leaving the focus on the search bar, hit ESC. The search is cleared as expected, with the focus remaining on the search bar.
3) Do another search for "testt": the first t is forgotten as the e is typed, and the search ends up being for "estt".

This bug does *not* go away when "input_event_queue.supported" is set to false, and it happens for me in Chrome as well. Nothing is logged in the web console.

Roxana, could you check if your bug happens for you in Chrome as well? They may be unrelated. If so, is anything interesting logged in the web console on your end?

Hi Thomas,

The bug is not reproducible in Chrome.
Nothing logged in the web console or browser console.

I cannot reproduce this issue using the latest Nightly 59.0a1 (2018-01-07), the latest Firefox Beta 58.0b14 and Firefox RC 57.0.4 on Windows 10 x64 and Mac OS X 10.12.
I will mark this bug Resolved-WFM.
