349128 - Focus lost pressing enter in empty location bar

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox :: Address Bar, defect, P3)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.6) Gecko/20060728 Firefox/1.5.0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.6) Gecko/20060728 Firefox/1.5.0.6

It seems that the clipboard is cleared whenever enter is pressed when focus is in the url field, the google search field (and probably any other field in the toolbars)

Similar to #311340 - But I think this is different.





Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. type www.yahoo.com in the url field (don't press enter)
2. press ctrl + a, then ctrl + x (to cut www.yahoo.com)
3. press enter
4. now ctrl + v inserts nothing :(

Actual Results:  
nothing - empty clipboard

Expected Results:  
www.yahoo.com pasted into url field

I find this to be a very annoying bug, that is so severe that I sometimes consider using another browser. It's so fustrating to belive that something is on the clipboard, only to find out that it has been cleared while using Firefox.

When I follow your Steps to reproduce it pastes nothing in the URL bar because the focus in the location bar is lost after pressing Enter. The address is still in the clipboard (when I focus the location bar first I can paste it).

So maybe that should not happen, when nothing is inside the url bar, in that case pressing enter should not remove the focus from the url bar.
This is what IE6 is also not doing.

I've now tried the same at my home computer - and can't reproduce here? When I get back to work tomorrow, I'll collect and report back more details.

Confirmed loss of focus in:

Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8.1b2) Gecko/20060820 BonEcho/2.0b2

Not sure exactly what the desired behavior should be, but I guess not losing focus is better than losing focus.

I've now tried the test case again on my computer at work, and can confirm that the clipboard is cleared as well as loosing focus.

So if you can reproduce at work but not at home then something must be different about your work computer. Are you using any extensions, or running some clipboard daemon there?
