192093 - Address bar search stops working following failed request

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 135363

(SeaMonkey :: Location Bar, defect)

Description

[Dan Phiffer]

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

If I'm trying to search for a given string using the address bar (i.e. type:
"wombats", (down arrow), (return)) I'm conveniently redirected to my search page
of choice (google) with the desired search string already entered and searched
for. However if I omit the down arrow, causing a host-not-found error (except,
for instance, in the case of "wombats" where I'm taken to wombats.com), this
seems to do something to the address bar search capability in conjunction with
the keyboard controls. Subsequent attempts to use the address bar search seem to
fail, even with proper use of the arrow key. Clicking on the Search Google for
".." option works, but using the arrow, enter method doesn't.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Type "not a valid host" into the address bar
2. Press return
3. Click Okay when it complains about the host not being found
4. Select the address bar again, press the down arrow to select "Search Google
for 'not a valid host'" and press return
Actual Results:  
Again, host not found error.

Expected Results:  
Searched my chosen search website for the search string "not a valid host"

Please always try a recent build before reporting bugs - this one has been fixed
quite a while ago.
