183452 - search doesn't work after accidentally hitting enter in location bar

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 135363

(SeaMonkey :: Search, defect)

Description

[Jonas Diemer]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130

I enter a string to search for (at google) in the location bar. Normally, I hit
<down> to select "search Google for xyz" and then hit enter.

If you accidentally hit enter w/o selecting "Search Google for xyz" first, a
dialog opens saying "xyz could not be found. Please check the name and try
again.". This is logically, because mozilla interprets the entered string as an
address.

after closing that dialog, I give focus to the address bar again (which still
contains my serach string). then I hit <down> and select "Search Google for
xyz". Now the same dialog appears again.

If i add a char to my search string or if I delete the last character and type
it again, it works...



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.enter string to search for in addres-field
2.accidentally hit enter, close the dialog
3.hit <down> to select "Search Google for ..." (which you should have done
before, instead of accidentally hitting enter"


Actual Results:  
The dialog reappears

Expected Results:  
Search google for my string.
