Description

[ripeip]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:76.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/76.0

Steps to reproduce:

open 2 tabs and type something different in every tab, with text selected press ctrl-x in the tab 1, do the same in the tab 2, finally press ctrl-z in both tabs, and you will get your clipboard value.

expected: restore their respective value for every tab.

it's a dumb bug imo.

Hi,
I reproduced this issue on my machine win 10 on Fx 76.0, Fx 77.0b1, and Nightly 78.0a1 but the same behavior has the Chrome browser, but maybe this could be a nice enhancement.

I can't reproduce this. Control+Z does restore what you typed in the respective tab's web content, not my current clipboard content.

This is what I did:

1. Duplicate this tab, I mean the tab with this Bugzilla page
2. Type something in the first tab's "Add Comment" box
3. Type some other thing in the second tab's same box
4. Cut the text you typed in the first tab by Control+X
5. Cut the text you typed in the second tab by Control+X
6. Undo in the first tab by Control+Z
7. Undo in the second tab by Control+Z

Result: You get what you typed in the respective tab.

Do any of you see what I missed?

Hi,
I verified again this issue on Win 10 with Nightly 78.0a1 and I still reproduce it.
You can try the following steps:

1. Launch Firefox with new profile
2. Type „google” in address bar(URL bar)
3. Open a new tab and type „youtube” in address bar(URL bar)
4. Go to the first tab and select „google” and press CTRL+ X
5. Go to the second tab and select „youtube” and press CTRL+ X
6. In the first tab, address bar(URL bar), press Ctrl+Z ---------Actual result: You will see that only the second value(„youtube”) from the second tab appear on paste. In this case the first value(„google”) of the first tab is lost
7. In the second tab, address bar(URL bar), press Ctrl+Z ---------Actual result: You will see that only the second value(„youtube”) from the second tab appear on paste.

Expected result:
Restore their respective value for every tab.

I really hope this will help you to reproduce it.

Okay, so it's about the address bar. In that case I'll change the component.

So, the fact is that the urlbar input field is the same for every tab, so undo history is common, not per tab. This is asking to make it per tab, so it's an enhancement.
