305069 - Ctrl+Enter no longer works for Googlebar New Tab

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: Extension Compatibility, defect)

Description

[Mark Knoop]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050817 Firefox/1.0+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050817 Firefox/1.0+

Prior to 20050816 branch nightly, a google search could be opened in a new tab
by the googlebar extension with the Ctrl+Enter keyboard shortcut. This
functionality is no longer available.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install googlebar extension
2. Enter a search term in the text box
3. Press Ctrl+Enter

Actual Results:  
Nothing.

Expected Results:  
Opened a new tab and searched google for the search term. 

The Shift+Enter shortcut still works to open a new window for the search;
Ctrl+Shift+Enter does nothing. It seems that the Ctrl key is blocking something. 

It might be that something has changed which exposes an existing bug in the
googlebar extension. If so, I will file a bug there. But it's also possible that
it's a Firefox bug, which is why I've filed it here first.

Tested with googlebar versions 0.9.12.01 and 0.9.15.01 with a new profile.

This is also true for using the Middle Click. Before Middle Click would open a
new tab and now nothing happens.

@Reporter, we have not heard back from you in a while, so I am closing this bug as INCOMPLETE. You can reopen this bug if more information becomes available. Some helpful information you can provide us is found at http://quality.mozilla.org/bug-writing-guidelines. You should also use a recent version of Firefox, from http://www.getfirefox.com.

Sounds more like an extension related issue. Moving over.
