187922 - Dropping down location field to search does not work after entering query and accidently hitting "enter"

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 135363

(SeaMonkey :: Search, defect)

Description

[Bengt Bergholm]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130

Submitting a search query through the "down arrow" key method in the location
field fails if you first make the (common) misstake to hit enter without first
hitting down arroy for search.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enter search terms +Mozilla +"keyboard shortcuts" into the location field. 
2. Hit enter (by misstake without down arrow first), location not found will be
returned for obvious reasons.
3. Return to location field and without altering the query, push "down arrow"
and enter (the proper way to do it). 

Actual Results:  
The search still fails with location not found instead of submitting the query
to my preferred search enginge.


Expected Results:  
Submitted the query to the search engine as the GUI indicated and the way it
works if you do it right the first time.

A workaround is to alter the query string in the location field and then hitting
down arrow to search. Altering and altering back to original query work too,
seems to work as long as the text in the location field has been edited in some way.
