440663 - UTF-8 characters not working in location field

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: Address Bar, defect)

Description

[Anders Lindman]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 6.0; SLCC1; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.04506)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008052906 Firefox/3.0

When the location field contains UTF-8 characters, hitting return in the field results in incorrect interpretation of the characters.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://www.blabline.com
2. Enter 'hälsa' in the search field on the page and press enter.
3. After the Blabline result page has loaded, click the Firefox reload button - works fine
4. Click in the Firefox location field and press enter - bug
Actual Results:  
Instead of the result page on blabline loading with correct UTF-8 character, incorrectly translated character for 'ä' appears.

Expected Results:  
Pressing enter when the location field has focus should produce the same result as clicking the reload button.

My previous Firefox version (version 2 something) was in Swedish, while the Firefox 3 installation is in US English.

Works fine for me.

Bulk closing all UNCONFIRMED bugs dealing with places that haven't had any bug activity in over 120 days, have no votes, and are not enhancement requests.

If you are still experiencing this issue in Firefox 3.0 or later, please re-open the bug with steps to reproduce (if they were not part of the original comment).
