Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 209503

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.4b; MultiZilla v1.4.0.3J) Gecko/20030728 Mozilla Firebird/0.6.1

When I go to about:config and enter text in the filter box, nothing happens.  I
played around with config.xul:

 <textbox id="textbox" flex="1" type="timed" timeout="500"
oncommand="alert('a');FilterPrefs();" onkeyup="alert('b');FilterPrefs();"/>

If I type stuff into the filter box, I never see an 'a' alert, but I do see a
'b' alert, and with the onkeydown added, filtering does work.

If I paste text into the filter box, I do get the 'a' alert, and the prefs are
filtered.

I don't know XUL, but I thought oncommand was supposed to fire for every
possible event.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to about:config
2. Type anything in the filter box
Actual Results:  
Nothing

Expected Results:  
Filtering of the prefs (see bug #207840).
