289946 - Multilanguage handling problems (incl. location bar, application title, search etc.)

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Firefox :: Address Bar, defect)

Description

[UnnamedStone]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)
Build Identifier: firefox version 1.02

1) usually, when you type the first several characters of a site you visited
before, the autocomplete list shows up and you can press "DOWN" button to
select. However, if the first url in autocomplete list has a non-english title
(in my case, the title starts with a Chinese character), the "DOWN" button no
longer works.

2) When you have several tabs opened, and some have english titles and some have
nonenglish titles, when you try to make switch between them by clicking the tab,
the APPLICATION's title may not change to the title of activiated tab. This may
not happen everytime but 90% chance i think.

3) Search function totally screw up when mutli tabs are opened. I find it may
relates to the 2nd bugs.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open several tabs with differnet language (in my case, English/Chinese, make
sure the webtitle is start with English/Chinese)
2. Switch tabs by clicking tabs
3. Application title bug/Search among DIFFERENT pages REPEATLY/autocomplete failed

Actual Results:  
Application title bug/
Search among DIFFERENT pages REPEATLY/totally screw up
autocomplete failed/down button doesnt work
