43324 - Contents of input type-text are dupilicated when page is restored

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 42178

(Core :: Layout: Form Controls, defect, P3)

Description

[Marc Attinasi]

An input field of type text with an initial value will have that value 
repeatedly appended to itself each time the page is navigated to. For example, 
load the attached testcase, notice the input has the value "abcdefg". Click the 
link to go to another page, then hit BACK and see that the input has the value 
"abcdefgabcdefg" - repeat until you are convinced there is a problem.

Also, possible unrelated, after returning to the page, select the text and 
delete it and the cursor is out of whack... selection gets kinda goofy sometimes 
too.

Happens on at least NT and Linux. 

This is actually a pretty serious bug. I cannot believe nobody else has seen it, 
but I couldn't find an existing bug on it. Makes Mozilla unusable for managing 
bugs, hence the dogfood status.

One more thing: the problem is actually that the input's value is prepended to 
whatever is already in the field (not appended). Typing something into the field 
and then navigating forward and back proves this.
