Bug 426987 ? (wild guess)

Comment 2

[Peter van der Woude [:Peter6]]

btw, the STR from comment #0 didn't work that wel for me.
I did:

open FF (new profile)
[File]->[New Tab]
leftclick in locationbar and type www.google.com
hit enter

result same as in comment #0

Perhaps related to bug 428840.

Comment 4

[Robert O'Callahan (:roc) (email my personal email if necessary)]

I wouldn't block on this but it's worth investigating.

Comment 5

[John]

I don't know if this is related, but sometimes I cannot select any textarea
within the browser (including the awesomebar, search, or webpage input boxes).
once I switch to a new tab and then focus the tab that is having an issue, it
works again. I don't know how to reproduce it, but if I figure it out, I'll
post steps. 

This only happens in a new window, so it might be related.

Comment 6

[Recall]

I am going to set a dependency on bug 428840, as based on the post here http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=648654&start=15 the regression window appears to be the same.

Comment 7

[Damon Sicore (:damons)]

Not blocking per comment #4.

Comment 8

[John]

This should block (I know I have no say in this) but here is another testcase where all inputs get focused wrong and you cannot type in them:

1) Open a PDF File in the browser in one window (ex: http://www.earth-policy.org/Books/PB3/pb3ch7.pdf)
2) From that PDF, in Minefield go to [File]->[New Window]
3) In that new window click on the address bar so the URL highlights (do not type anything)
4) Click in the search bar, or on an input form on the website (make google your homepage) and notice that the inputs are not working ( Google IG is my homepage, so I clicked on)
5)Try to type a URL in the awesomebar and nothing happens


This looks like a focus problem because when I highlighted text in the address bar and hit backspace, it went back a page, so the address bar did not get typing focus and it was behaving as if to go back a page.

Comment 9

[Robert O'Callahan (:roc) (email my personal email if necessary)]

I can reproduce with the steps in comment #0.

Comment 10

[Steve England [:stevee]]

bug 428840 comment 22 has a tryserver build with bug 426987 backed out, and for me this fixes the two-caret issue, so I'm changing this bug's dependencies.

Comment 11

[Recall]

Confirmed, the try build fixes it for me also.

Comment 12

[Robert O'Callahan (:roc) (email my personal email if necessary)]

This is a weird one. Making nsDocument::SaveState call DestroyContent on its children *does not* fix the regression! So it seems to be one of the other things that nsDocument::Destroy does that's needed, but they all look innocuous to me. Experimenting.

Comment 13

[Robert O'Callahan (:roc) (email my personal email if necessary)]

I'm going to make this block since I can reproduce it and it should fix bug 428840 which is a blocker.

Comment 14

[Robert O'Callahan (:roc) (email my personal email if necessary)]

Attachment: fix

This fixes this bug. Not sure about the other one, which I find hard to reproduce --- someone could test.

It seems that we have to start returning the docshell's script-global-object as soon as nsDocumentViewer::Close is called. I'm not sure exactly why, but hopefully someone who knows this code can explain!

Comment 15

[Recall]

If chris (or someone ) can get a build up with that patch Robert, then I can test as I can easily reproduce both bugs. 

Comment 16

[Chris Pearce [:cpearce (Not reading bugmail)]]

I've made a TryServer build, should appear in a few hours under
https://build.mozilla.org/tryserver-builds/ with the tag [e-mail]-cpearce-roc-patch

Comment 17

[Recall]

Thanks chris, will test and report back.

That test build fixes the issue I descibed in Comment 8

Comment 19

[Recall]

chris, no build with that tag has appeared on your server. Could you upload a new one only the one with a full backout is there.

Comment 20

[Martijn Wargers (dead)]

Note to self:
- Open about:crashes from the bookmarks toolbar
- Middle-click to open a crash report
- Switch the tab to that page, select some text
Make sure that the correct context menu is opened, as soon as this bug is fixed.

Comment 21

[Steve England [:stevee]]

bug 429475 has the same range as this bug and seems to be a focus issue, so may be related.

fix

It's a little unintuitive that things like PresShell->SaveState() and mSaveState controls what scriptglobal we use.

How about renaming SaveState to RemovedFromDocshell or some such.

r/sr=me with some better names for these things.

Comment 23

[Recall]

In regards to comment 16, I have been able to test the build with the patch and it works fine now for me, no paste issues either.

Comment 24

Fixes nasty regressions. I will do the renaming Jonas asked for.

Comment 25

[Recall]

Chatzilla pasting is broken, it does not appear to be the same regression window either. See comment 30 bug 428840. Robert does this patch fix that issue also?
