209805 - Suggested path of new profile is not updated correctly while typing

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 200439

(SeaMonkey :: Startup & Profiles, defect)

Description

[Nikos Platis]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030612
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030612

When creating a new profile, Profile Manager suggests a path under "Application
Data" folder on Windows to store its files. The last component of the path is
(supposed to be) the profile name. Unfortunately, the path displayed lags one
keystroke while the user is typing.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start Profile Manager and proceed to create a new profile
2. Type in the name of the profile


Actual Results:  
The suggested path contains all but the last character typed.

Expected Results:  
The suggested path should contain the profile name as typed.

There is a similar problem if one tries to delete characters from the profile
name: the displayed path always lags one keystroke.

The path displayed gets updated when moving away from the edit box. This is
probably why (thankfully) the expected path (and not the displayed one) is
actually used.

My build is 1.4 RC2. I would set this bug's important to Major, since it is
highly visible, but not many people seem to create multiple profiles...
