47397 - Autocomplete comes up inappropriately (when user isn't typing into urlbar)

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 46678

(Core :: DOM: Navigation, defect, P3)

Description

[Jason Eager]

The autocomplete menu is coming up when I use the drop-down url bar
to select a base url (www.trimble.co.nz) that I have also typed in
specific pages for (www.trimble.co.nz/specificpage/blah.html). This
is especially annoying because I have http://www.trimble.co.nz set up
as my home page (INTRANET ONLY SITE), and when mozilla starts up, I get an
autocomplete menu with the three specific pages I accessed on that website.

The autocomplete menu should only come up when:

1) The url bar text field has focus, AND
2) The user has typed at least ONE character into the url bar since it gained
focus.

EXAMPLE: if I've manually entered http://www.blah.com AND
http://www.blah.com/thissucks/samplepage.html and
http://www.blah.com/thisalsosucks/samplepage2.html, and then I use the drop down
menu to select "http://www.blah.com" and then I click to give the url bar text
field focus, the auto complete menu should NOT pop up immediately, it should
wait until I have typed at LEAST one character.
