1611649 - [regression] Middle-clicking in URL-bar should only paste PRIMARY buffer, even if clickSelectsAll is True

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Address Bar, defect, P5)

Description

[Pols12]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:68.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/68.0

Steps to reproduce:

On a Linux system, ensure your browser.urlbar.clickSelectsAll option is set to True.
Select some short text.
Middle-click in your URL-bar.

Actual results:

The full current URL is pasted where you have clicked.
I.e., if you were on http://example.url/my-page an you have middle-clicked just after the last slash /, the new URL is now http://example.url/http://example.url/my-pagemy-page

Expected results:

The selected short text should be pasted where you have middle-clicked (as Firefox do when browser.urlbar.clickSelectsAll option is set to False).
Alternatively, the selected text could replace the current URL-bar content.

Does this happen on Nightly? Could you please find a regression range?

I just updated to v78 and this bug seems to be fixed. 🙂

clickSelectsAll has been removed so the STR for this bug is now impossible.
