Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 398346

(Firefox :: Address Bar, defect)

Description

[Hussam Al-Tayeb]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9a9pre) Gecko/2007100100 Firefox/3.0a9pre
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9a9pre) Gecko/2007100100 Firefox/3.0a9pre

After a while of firefox3 trunk usage, inputing urls in location bar stops working
this shows up in error console.
I'm not sure what triggers this.
Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIDOMNSHTMLInputElement.setSelectionRange]"  nsresult: "0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)"  location: "JS frame :: chrome://global/content/bindings/textbox.xml :: onxblmousedown :: line 184"  data: no]

This regressed sometime during the last 9 hours before I reported this bug.

could bug #216434 be the cause?

Reproducible: Always

browser.urlbar.autoFill is set to true. This could also be the cause.

I see this JS exception thrown on Mac trunk:

Error: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80520015 (NS_ERROR_FILE_ACCESS_DENIED) [mozIStorageStatementWrapper.step]"  nsresult: "0x80520015 (NS_ERROR_FILE_ACCESS_DENIED)"  location: "JS frame :: file:///Applications/Minefield.app/Contents/MacOS/components/nsSearchService.js :: epsGetAttr :: line 2891"  data: no]

Seth, any clues?  You fixed something similar over in bug 393244.  I'm still trying to find a reproducible testcase, though, for this one (maybe it's a time/size-of-history/places file issue).

Just before this failure, I see an alert dialog pop up on Mac that claims I've run out of disk capacity; I'm sure that's related, though I can't remember if it was the OS or Firefox that popped it up.

Anyways, confirming this bug on Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.9a9pre) Gecko/2007093004 Minefield/3.0a9pre

(I actually think my exceptions might be more relevant; I don't really know how setting a selection range would be related to breaking _input_ of characters.  In case I'm wrong, I'll happily file a new bug for the Mac issue I'm noting.)

Some relation with bug 397342 ? Yesterday I noticed that the caret was missing in the filter input field of about:config, also when I clicked in it. It was a new profile where I was testing something else. I could not reproduce this anymore after a restart. Sorry for this comment if this issue is unrelated.

I found a way to reproduce it here.
After a while of browsing, if I right click on the 'navigation toolbar' and click 'Customize', this get's broken. 
After that I'm no longer able to manually type in urls in the location bar.

This sounds like a duplicate of bug 398346 (comment 5 certainly is).

Make sense; I've been testing customizing search lately, so that's why I hit this.  Verified dup.
