51412 - Auto-Completion works too much

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 78268

(MailNews Core :: Composition, defect, P3)

Description

[Koike Kazuhiko]

Auto-Completion works too much.

(1) Type "http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/"... in URL field.
(2) "http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=46995" appears.
(3) Delete "show_bug.cgi?id=46995" by Backspace key.
(4) "show_bug.cgi?id=46995" is auto-completed again.

Auto-completion of (4) is not necessary. 4.x doesn't work as such.

it's a side effect of the fix I did for bug 50329. If you delete less or more 
that what autocomplete append to your input, autocomplete will kick again 
automatically. The example given by kazhik is invalid but if you do that:

1) type www.moz
2) autocomplete gives you www.moz[illazine.org] (if you have previously visited 
this site)
3) select and delete zine.org, you have left www.mozilla
4) again, autocomplete give you www.mozilla[.org]

but, if you press now Backspace whithout touching the selection, you get 
www.mozilla and no more autocompletion until you either type something or press 
backspace again.

Also, you can always press the up arrow key to return to your original typing, 
it will undo the autocompletion.

Should I really fix that? I don't know yet...Maybe should I mark this bug as 
invalid or won't fix?

I'd found bug 78628. This should be marked as a duplicate.
