See STR

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Take a page with frames. One frame contains a form with an input box, the other frame is the target for the form.
2. Type something in the box and submit the form. Form Manager stores the data.
3. Empty the input box.
4. Type the first letter of what you typed earlier.
5. Press Enter.
Actual Results:  
Auto-completion for this input box is now completely unavailable. Neither down-arrow nor typing letters pops up the auto-completion drop-down.

Expected Results:  
Down-arrow or typing further letters should bring up the auto-completion drop-down like it usually does.

If you need a show case, I can prepare one. Please ask.

Yes, a simplified test case would be helpful here.

Actually, turns out you don't need an extra testcase. Here are some simple STR:

1. Go to http://www.csrsupport.com or any other website with a search box.
2. Type "blah" in the search box and press Enter. This adds "blah" to the auto-completion dictionary. Then cancel and reload the page to start from scratch.
3. Type "b" in the search box, press Enter, and before the page refreshes, press Esc.
4. Press Down-Arrow or "l".

EXPECTED BEHAVIOUR: Auto-completion drop-down appears.

ACTUAL BEHAVIOUR: Nothing happens.

I can not reproduce this in 2022. Please reopen when there are fresh STR.
