Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 269034

(Firefox :: Address Bar, defect)

Description

[Joachim Noreiko]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-GB; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050414 Firefox/1.0.3
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-GB; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050414 Firefox/1.0.3

Clicking away from a form text element should dismiss the auto-complete box.

However, if the user clicks on a drop-down list form element, it has no effect.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use a form so it has auto-complete data (http://www.traintimes.org.uk/ is a
good example)
2. Begin typing in the text field
3. Auto-complete box pops up
4. At any point (whether you've typed all the text or not) click on a drop-down
element

Actual Results:  
The auto-complete box vanishes then reappears immediately. Focus is not shifted
to the element that was clicked.

Expected Results:  
Shifted focus and dismissed the auto-complete box.

Also seeing this on Linux. Particularly annoying if you middle-click to paste
text into a text box, which triggers autocomplete. IMDB's quick search
demonstrates this repeatably.

This bug might require different fixes on Mac and on Linux, so comment 1 is bug
188126 or bug 262123 or a separate bug.

Using Firefox 1.5 RC1 OS X (10.2.8), when autocomplete is used and a list of possible entries results, the whole application freezes. Nothing unfreezes it except for force quit. I have seen this happen in 1.5 alpha and 1.5 beta. It's been going on for over a month, in other words. This does not happen in 1.0.7. I can only conclude that the only stable version of Firefox for Mac OS X is 1.0.7.

Cannot download attachment. Windows says "cannot open file."
