when I try to delete a password using Shift+delete from the drop down menu ( for example gmail.com ), it appears to be deleted but the password is still saved. To correctly delete the password, I have to go to preferences > password manager and delete it from there.

Reproducible: Always

Can someone else reproduce/confirm this problem or am I the only one who sees this bug?

i can confirm this behaviour on Trunk, probably due to the new Password Manager
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; it; rv:1.8.1.4) Gecko/20070515 Firefox/2.0.0.4

This had me confused for a while, until I finally checked the docs and found that .splice() returns an array (which makes complete sense in hindsight).

I also noticed that the login sorting wasn't sorting on the correct values, so I fixed that here too.

Gah, who reviewed this stuff? :)

(Can we write a test for this?)

[Justin Dolske [:Dolske]]

(Yes, I was just filling your review queue with requests now, and writing tests for them next :)

Attachment: Patch for testcases, v.1

This adds some tests for the autocomplete dropdown. I wasn't able to get filtering working (ie, type "t", down arrow, and only see logins starting with "t"). But it works for me doing it manually, so there's probably some subtle key event thing I don't understand... But it tests the problem in this bug, so it's good enough.

Patch for testcases, v.1

I can't run these tests to verify, because the countLogins patch doesn't apply. I think it'd be a good idea to wrap the addLogin calls in a try/catch (and check the exception) to avoid needing to restart the browser to re-run the test. r=me assuming they all pass.

Verified fixed.

Attachment: Patch to fix testcase.

The testcase checked in fails on Linux/Windows. This changes the test to delete logins with the "delete" key instead of the "back_space" key. Tested on OS X and Linux, and I manually confirmed the keyboard behavior on Windows.
