302384 - Location Bar broken, delete/paste doesn't work, navigation keys don't

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 301917

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[simon.hetzer]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050726
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050726

Every time I open Mozilla either for the first time, by pressing the
Browse-The-Web button on my keyboard, by using Start / Internet, etc., the
Location Bar where I enter the Internet addresses is at least semi-broken.
I can type text, but neither Arrow nor Pos1, End, etc. keys work. It is
impossible to mark text typed using the keyboard.
The right click context menu shows all items grayed out except Delete and Select
All, both items do nothing, even if text is marked with the mouse.
If there is content in the clipboard, it is impossible to paste it.
A workaround is to open a new window with Ctrl+N and close the old broken window.
Opening a new tab does not help.

This problem started occuring since I updated from 1.7.8 to 1.7.10 because of
the security warnings.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start Mozilla, or with an already running Mozilla, open a new window using
Start/Internet.
a) 2. Type something in the Location Bar.
   3. Try to navigate using the keyboard, arrow keys, Pos1, End, Ctrl+keys.
b) 2. Try to paste the URI you have copied in clipboard into the Location Bar.
c) 2. Type something in the Location Bar and try to right click / Select All.

Actual Results:  
It is broken.
a) Navigation with the keyboard doesn't work, the cursor stays where it is.
b) Pasting doesn't do anything, the context menu Paste option is grayed out and
Ctrl+V doesn't work.
c) The text isn't getting selected.

Expected Results:  
a) Navigation should work like it did in Mozilla 1.7.8.
b) It should be possible to paste the clipboard content into the Location Bar.
c) The context menu items should work as advertised.

I'm using Quick Launch. I don't know whether this is at all related.
The bug is Critical in that I can't operate the web normally anymore since it is
only possible to normally use the Location Bar by opening a new window.
Copying and pasting URIs in the Location Bar is mission critical for me. I'm
losing data by expecting a paste action to work before I remember that Mozilla
is broken.

Looks like a duplicate of bug 301917/bug 301968.

Can you please get a branch build from
http://mozilla.isc.org/pub/mozilla.org/mozilla/nightly/latest-1.7/ and
verify that this issue is fixed by the changes at bug 301917?

Works for me with these builds now.

Resolving as dupe. Feel free to reopen if you can reproduce this with the new
1.7.11 builds.
