[Mike Connor [:mconnor]]

This was fixed in 200884, but seems to be overridden by autocomplete.

Pierre, thoughts?

Working perfectly here. Does this still not work for you Mike?

I've found this is not 100% reproducible for me either, so I spent some more
time trying to figure out exactly what conditions cause it and what conditions
make it work as it should.

Surprisingly, it seems to be depending on how I invoke firefox.exe:


Causes the bug:

"Internet" shortcut on Start menu when Firefox is the default browser
Cygwin bash shell


Works as expected:

DOS shell
PowerPro shortcut whose target is C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe
Start -> Programs -> Mozilla Firefox -> Mozilla Firefox


Steps used in all tests:

1. Invoke Firefox
2. Ctrl+K
3. Ctrl+Down

In all cases that trigger the bug, the actual behavior is the autocomplete
selections are displayed and Ctrl+Up/Down cycles through the selections.


I'm using Windows XP.

Another case that triggers the bug: invoking by clicking a link in Thunderbird.

CTRL-UP works here but CTRL-DOWN doesn't.

This feature is still broken for me: Ctrl-Up/Ctrl-Down scrolls through
autocomplete history in the Search bar.

The most recent searchbar interface introduced a regression -- Ctrl + Up/Down now seems to act like regular Up/Down.

This bug is closed for a long time, so you should not hijack it for this regression. IMO the behavior of Ctrl+Up/Down should not duplicate Up/Down, though work similar like before. See bug 1108488.
