309070 - When the Gmail Delete Button (compiled) extension is loaded, typing an apostrophe launches "find-as-you-type"

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 307375

(Toolkit :: Find Toolbar, defect)

Description

[Hall]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050908 Firefox/1.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050908 Firefox/1.4

When the Gmail Delete Button (compiled) extension,
http://www.arantius.com/article/arantius/gmail+delete+button/, is loaded, typing
an apostrophe launches "find-as-you-type". This behavior didn't occur until
after I'd loaded this extension, stop occuring when I uninstalled it, and came
back when I added it back. Rather reliable or easy to duplicate in this case.
I've reported it to the author and got the response "...the apostrophe is the
firefox key for find-as-you-type-in-links, if something isn't working right I
can barely see how any of my code is doing it, it's likely a bug in Firefox." I
do NOT have the extension and the greasemonkey script version installed at the
same time.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Gmail-Delete-Button extension
2. Restart Firefox
3. Type text, especially in a text box, and include the apostrophe, " ' ", key

Actual Results:  
"Find" menubar at bottom of FF window appears

Expected Results:  
Allow typing to continue in text box

The Extension Manager manages the install, upgrade, update, uninstall, etc. for
extensions and it does not manage the way an extension interacts with other code

Component -> Find Toolbar / FastFind
