406360 - Typing in URL autoselects itself if browser.urlbar.clickSelectsAll is set to true

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Firefox :: Address Bar, defect, P3)

Description

[Pascal Chevrel:pascalc (PTO until April 26)]

tested with Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; fr; rv:1.9b2pre) Gecko/2007120104 Minefield/3.0b2pre

Steps to reproduce the bug :
1/ type about:config and set browser.urlbar.clickSelectsAll to true
2/ go to any page, click on the urlbar and type an address, say google.com

expected result:
google.com is displayed

actual result:
oogle.com is entered because after hitting g, the letter autoselects itself and is then replace by the rest of what you type

This is a regression since Firefox3beta1 does not have this bug.

Confirming for : Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9b2pre) Gecko/2007120304 Minefield/3.0b2pre


Normal comportment  in Windows and mac OSX.

Perhaps a duplicate of https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=218216 ?

But this comportment is new under linux since beta1

Another effect of this big :


1/ go to any URL like https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Firefox
2/ select part of the url with the mouse lile 'enter_bug' for instance
3/ hit DEL key

Expected result:
delete part selected

Actual result:
the whole URL is selected

There are probably more weird selection issues in the location bar when clickSelectsAll is set to true on linux
