514825 - Delete and pressing enter on autocomplete result should load the selected item

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 470921

(Firefox :: Address Bar, defect)

Description

[Emil Ivanov]

When I want to delete some url from locationbar autocomplete it does not update to the next one, instead it keeps the deleted url in the url bar and when I'm automatically on the next result and press enter, it actually goes to the deleted address.

STR:
1. With new profile go to http://www.mozillazine.org/
2. Go to any link in the same page
3. Go to url bar and enter zine
4. Delete the first entry from mozillazine and press enter

Result:
The deleted address is loaded

Expected:
To go on the selected url from the autocomplete

This does not work on search bar too.

On input fields the autocomplete works as expected.

Looks to be a dupe of Bug 422745 (Bug 467195 also looks to be a dupe)

Well bug 422745 and 467195 suggests that when deleting something from autocomplete it should be removed from address bar too.

In this bug the report is about updating the selected address after something is deleted in the address bar only when you hit enter.

Im fine with the current behavior described in bug 422745 because:

sometimes I have entered a url which is almost correct but need to correct only one or two letters, in this situation I want to delete the invalid address from the autocomplete but keep that in the address bar so I can correct it and not type everything again.

if it's not a dupe of either of those then it stands on it's own.  removing whiteboard.

This is annoying, but unless this is a regression from Firefox 3.6 (which I'm pretty sure it isn't), this does not block the release of Firefox 4.0
