408028 - browser.urlbar.clickSelectsAll causes next character entered to be selected

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 406360

(Firefox :: Address Bar, defect)

Description

[Aaron]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9b2pre) Gecko/2007121108 Minefield/3.0b2pre Firefox/3.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9b2pre) Gecko/2007121108 Minefield/3.0b2pre Firefox/3.0

If browser.urlbar.clickSelectsAll is set to true, clicking on the urlbar selects the whole URL, as it should. The problem is that after it is selected, if you start typing the first character that you type is then selected and whatever the second character you type is will overwrite it. Whenever typing in a URL or a search term, the first character is always missing.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. in about:config set browser.urlbar.clickSelectsAll to true
2. click in urlbar
3. type 1 character
4. type another character
Actual Results:  
the second character overwrites the first one, so only the second one appears.

Expected Results:  
the second character appears after the first character.

This seems to be fixed in the latest nightly.
