In Cookie Manager, if you remove a cookie with the "Remove Cookie" or "Remove
All Cookies" button and have the "Don't allow sites that set removed cookies to
set future cookies" box checked, they will be added to the "Cookie Sites" tab
with a status of "site cannot set cookies".

However, if you use the "Delete" key to remove a cookie under the same
conditions it is *not* added to the "Cookie Sites" tab, but rather is simply
deleted.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make sure "Don't allow sites that set removed cookies to set future cookies"
box is checked.
2. Highlight a cookie in "Cookie Manager".
3. Hit 'Delete' key to remove cookie.
Actual Results:  
Cookie is deleted *without* being added to the "Cookie Sites" tab with a status
of "site cannot set cookies".

Expected Results:  
'Delete' key should have exactly the same effect as clicking "Remove Cookie" button.

Works for me.
Did you close the cookie manager before looking at the sites tab? I somehow
remember a bug about the sites tab not being updated.

Good call--after further testing (i.e. close cookie manager and reopen) I see
that all the deleted cookes are indeed listed.  That makes my complaint more
relevant to the comments in existing Bug 220915 (cookie site list was suddenly
empty; cookie list was not affected).

Thomas,

If I'm reading this bug correctly, it is not the same problem as what is
described in 220915, but have had some problems where they might be releated.

The delete key (vs. the buttons) are pretty much a separate, testable feature,
so I think this is best resolved WFM, which you can do as a reporter.

Let me know if I've got this wrong.

Agreed--the 'delete' key does indeed work, it's success was just masked by the
existence of the other bug.  Marking WFM.
