User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.4) Gecko/2008102920 Firefox/3.0.4

For *whatever reason* passwords or any personal data could be entered in the search, it is revealable by using CTRL-Z (undo) after clearing the history.

Also, when private data is cleared, the contents of the search aren't cleared either.

(Yes it happens too when you check all the boxes in the "Clear Private Data..." screen.)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enter something in the search (in the location bar).
2. Clear private data.

Actual Results:  
The history of entered sentences is still retrievable by using the undo functionality.

Expected Results:  
The history of entered sentences should also be cleared when clearing private data.

Undo is grayed out after your steps to reproduce. Also Ctrl+Z does nothing.

You're right, I must have accidentally used CTRL+DEL instead of CTRL+SHIFT+DEL hotkey to try to clear the private data.

Also I noticed that CTRL+Z never works at all, is that intentional?

That is probably bug 418874, which now also affects the location bar.
