242012 - crash when selecting from popup menu left over from previous page

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 243432

(Firefox :: Address Bar, defect)

Description

[Jeff R. Allen]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040206 Firefox/0.8
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040206 Firefox/0.8

Popup menu from form auto-fill stays there after using back button on keyboard
to leave the page. Then if you choose from the popup, you get a crash.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Make google your home page.
Go to a random page.
Hit alt-home to get to Google.
Start typing a query, like "a", which should pop up a list of previous queries
you've made (assuming you use Google as much as the rest of us...)
While the popup is up, hit the back button on your keyboard.
You are now on the previous page, and the popup is still up.
Select something from that popup menu.
Crash.

Actual Results:  
Crash.

Expected Results:  
No popup should survive the "page back". If one does, it should not cause a crash.

This is technically critical, since it is a crasher. But the sequence of events
is rare, so it'd be ok with me to call it Normal.

Forgot to mention: I tried to repro this with the nightly, but today's nightly
would not start on my machine.

Build too old to be of use.  Try to reproduce this on a nightly or FF 0.9.

Thanks

I can repro this in FF 0.9.

Works for me as focus stays within the text field while the Form Manager's
autofill is up. Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7)

BTW, this should go to the Location and Autocomplete component.

Comment 6

[Robin Monks]

I agree with hao2lian that this should go under Location Bar & Autocomplete.

using firefox 0.9.2, i am unable to reproduce this bug. When I hit backspace,
the query is cleared. Please tell me if i am doing this right:

go to anypage
hit Alt+home so you go to the homepage(set as google)
type in a letter so auto-complete comes up
hit backspace

thanks

WFM with Windows XP 0.9+ branch build 2004-08-03-07-0.9

got a form complete drop down
used alt+Left Arrow(keyboard short cut for Go back one page)

the drop down disappears and the browser goes back a page as expected.

Marking as dupe of bug 243432. It was fixed near 2004-08-17, which would explain
the recent WFMs.

Verifying old and obvious dupes. Sorry for bugspam.
