314853 - clicking on a combobox select makes autocomplete reopen after closing

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 262123

(Toolkit :: Autocomplete, defect)

Description

[David Baron :dbaron: (⌚️UTC-4, no longer working on Mozilla)]

clicking on a combobox makes autocomplete close and reopen instead of just close.

Steps to reproduce:
 1. load bug 314850
 2. delete a few characters in the status whiteboard field or otherwise do something to make the form manager cause an autocomplete popup for the status whiteboard field
 3. click in the middle of the combobox next to "Target Milestone", where it says "mozilla1.9alpha"

Actual results:  Autocomplete popup briefly closes and then reopens.

Expected results:  Autocomplete popup closes (which is what happens when I click just about anywhere else in the page)

Tested in a trunk Linux/GTK2 Firefox build from around 10AM Monday October 31.

ispiked points out that this may be a duplicate of bug 262123, although the description of actual results there seems a good bit different.

yes, the description is different but it is probably the same thing.

If you click rapidly enough you probably trigger a multiclick that exits the autocompletion menu for good (does not cause it to reopen again like the singleclick does).
