Attached image Wrong result

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.15; rv:77.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/77.0

Steps to reproduce:

Visit a website eg. bundlephobia.com
Type in the address bar:
press b
hold u
press 2 to enter the german letter ü

Actual results:

bü|ndlephobia.com/ is in the address bar, where | is the cursor

Expected results:

bü| should be in the address bar

I can confirm this issue, reproduced it on Mac OS X 10.14 using the latest Nightly 80.0a1, Firefox 79 beta 3, Firefox 78.0.1. Firefox 78.0.1 esr and Firefox 68.10.0 esr - as Philipp said in the description, "bü|ndlephobia.com" is autocompleted in the address bar as soon as I type bü.

Setting this issue to NEW.

Status: UNCONFIRMED → NEW
Component: Untriaged → Address Bar
Ever confirmed: true
OS: Unspecified → macOS
Hardware: Unspecified → All

It sounds like we may want to match diacritics for autofill of origins...

Severity: -- → S3
Priority: -- → P3

Closing and marking a duplicate as it's very similar to Bug 1416881.

Status: NEW → RESOLVED
Closed: 3 years ago
Resolution: --- → DUPLICATE

Updating severity to match the dupe-target (which was triaged more recently than this one), to avoid this 2-years-ago S3 severity getting propagated over to that one via https://github.com/mozilla/relman-auto-nag/pull/1672

Severity: S3 → S4
