User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.9) Gecko/20071025 Firefox/2.0.0.9 Build Identifier: When at the address bar with any url, when the user presses Ctrl+Backspace it deletes the whole address instead of stopping at different characters such as: [=?./&_] It functions like this on Windows. It is useful for changing parameters being passed to a script, or changing com to net or org. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Select address bar. 2.Move the cursor to the end of the string 3.Hold Control, Press Backspace. Actual Results: It deleted the entire address. Expected Results: Stopped at a key character like an & (ampersand) or an = (equal sign) to change the value of a parameter being passed to the script.
The user agent may not be accurate. I am accessing this from a Windows machine, not my laptop with a Linux-based OS.
Should be fixed on trunk (for Firefox 3) by the patch in bug 190615.
