450351 - Tab switching for cookie sheet acceptance clears typing in the location bar

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Camino Graveyard :: Location Bar & Autocomplete, defect)

Description

[Smokey Ardisson (offline for a while; not following bugs - do not email)]

I thought we had a bug on something similar to this, but I can't find it, and it doesn't seem to be the same as any of the existing ones I do find; it's sort of a twist on, and sort of opposite of, bug 314774.

STR:

1) Have "Ask me before accepting each cookie" selected
2) In the current tab, cmd-(shift)-click a link to a site that will ask you about a cookie in a background tab
3) Before the new tab loads, start typing a new url or shortcut search in the location bar
4) Camino switches to the new tab to make you handle the cookie sheet
5) Camino switches back to the original tab

ER: Partially typed URL remains in the location bar of the original tab
AR: Partially typed URL is gone; weep

This bug has been buried in the graveyard and has not been updated in over 5 years. It is probably safe to assume that it will never be fixed, so resolving as WONTFIX.
