303866 - Failure to set the home page with the auto-completion feature.

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: Preferences, defect)

Description

[Kostas Michalopoulos]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050723 SeaMonkey/1.0a
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050808 SeaMonkey/1.0a

The auto-completion feature in the fieldbox that is used to set manually the
home page in preferencies seems to not save the value you select from the list.
Even if the complete URL is shown in the field, only the part you typed is
actually saved.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit http://www.mozilla.org/quality/ to add the URL in your history
2. Open Edit | Preferencies | Navigator
3. In the Location field of the Home Page box type http://www.mozilla.org/qu
4. From the list that will appear, click on http://www.mozilla.org/quality/
5. The full URL will be shown in the field. Press OK.
6. Press the "Home" button at the leftmost part of the Personal toolbar.

Actual Results:  
Instead of sending you to the http://www.mozilla.org/quality/ it sends you to
http://www.mozilla.org/qu which is the part you typed in the preferencies. If
you type something else, such as http://www.mozilla.org/qual, it will use that
part instead. If you open the preferencies you will see that it saved only the
part you typed manually.

Expected Results:  
It should have saved the whole URL, not just the part. For the example i gave,
it must send you to http://www.mozilla.org/quality/ instead of
http://www.mozilla.org/qu.


I use a customly built version of Seamonkey taken from CVS at Mon Aug 8 09:33:51

Reproducible with Mozilla 1.8b1 and SeaMonkey/20050807 but WFM with Mozilla
1.7.10 and Deer Park a2.

Confirming, since I see this in a recent SeaMonkey mac trunk build as well.

I believe this was fixed by the checkin for bug 287996 comment 18.
