1652443 - Search query cut off when searching from the address bar

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1652024

(Firefox :: Address Bar, defect)

Description

[Sollace]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:80.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/80.0

Steps to reproduce:

Since a few days ago I've been finding that whenever I search for something in DuckDuckGo (by typing into the address bar) parts of my query are going missing. Initially I thought this was a mistake on my part, but since then It's been happening more and more.

I've since been able to reproduce it simply by pressing enter before the auto-complete under the address bar has fully updated. Just waiting a moment after typing for the results to change before pressing enter keeps the issue from occuring.

Actual results:

i.e typing "fly me to the castle" into the address bar and pressing enter will take me to a search page with the query "fly me to the c" or in some cases "fly m".

(note the amount to which it is cut off may appear randomly)
(this specifically also only happens when searching. Addresses don't appear to suffer from the same effect)

Expected results:

The search should have included the full query, not parts of it.
