218006 - charset auto-detection disables keychain auto-completion

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Camino Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[S Woodside]

I'm running my own build from about 2 weeks ago. Investigating Bug 180461, I
find that if I comment out this line in all-chimera.js :

// turn on universal character detection
pref("intl.charset.detector", "universal_charset_detector");

then keychain auto-completion for my passwords stops working. It no longer
prompts or fills in the passwords.

can someone else confirm this?

Comment 2

[Josh Aas]

Can't repro this. I did a few tests and everything was fine.

Simon: can you confirm that removing that prefs line is the direct cause of
keychain autocompletion not working, and that its not an issue with the page
coding (i.e. is it just breaking in some weird case)?

I can't repro it either.

Josh and I did how ever figured out that that removing that same line would fix
most acoun1ts where charset auto-detection wasn't working. In other words this
lin seems to disable charset-autodetection.
