304916 - Typing in 't' in address bar and selecting item from drop-down results in ttp://thesite.com

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 202992

(Firefox :: Address Bar, defect)

Description

[Jason Barnabe (np)]

1. Make sure you've visited a site that begins with "t".
2. Type "t" in the address bar.
3. Press down to select the first autocomplete entry
4. Notice that the address now says "ttp://thesite.com"
5a. Press enter. The site works.
5b. Continue typing the address (as if you're trying to go to
thesite.com/example). Press enter. Get "ttp: is not a registered protocol"

Occurs also for https sites and the letter "p", and I assume other protocols are
affected as well. This occurs on both trunk and branch, 20050816.

Clarification: both trunk and *1.5* branch.

Comment 2

[Martijn Wargers (dead)]

This is approximately the codepath, I think:
http://bonsai.mozilla.org/cvsblame.cgi?file=mozilla/toolkit/components/autocomplete/src/nsAutoCompleteController.cpp&rev=1.32&root=/cvsroot#394
http://bonsai.mozilla.org/cvsblame.cgi?file=mozilla/toolkit/components/autocomplete/src/nsAutoCompleteController.cpp&rev=1.32&root=/cvsroot#1158
So I think something has to be adjusted at the
nsAutoCompleteController::CompleteValue function.
