Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 306538

(Firefox :: Address Bar, defect)

Description

[sam_bravard]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.9) Gecko/20050711 Firefox/1.0.5
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.9) Gecko/20050711 Firefox/1.0.5

To reproduce on Windows (1.0.5 or any earlier version):

Make sure you have some history entries in the Address Bar history cache (go to
a few pages to fill the cache)
Close Mozilla
Start a new instance of Mozilla
Start typing the first few letters of a URL you previously went to for Autocomplete
Mozilla should show a dropdown with the candidate URLS
Stop typing, use the mouse to select one of the candidate URLs

Instead of going to the candidate URL you selected, mozilla tries to go to the
incomplete URL you typed.

This _only_ happens the 1st time.  It works fine the 2nd time.  Follow the steps
above to reproduce.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. See details above - steps listed there.
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Mozilla goes to the wrong url (tries to go to the partially completed url that
was typed)

Expected Results:  
Mozilla should have gone to the URL selected from the autocomplete list.

Also, when you simply click on the drop-down menu(instead of starting to type a
URL) and select one of the links there, instead of loading the new page, it will
reload the current page since it's what is in the URL currently.

I'm able to get it to trigger every time (not just the 1st time) with 1.0.7. The trunk builds doesn't have the issue though.
