523048 - location bar flickers auto-complete, but it disappears quickly

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: Address Bar, defect)

Description

[Kyle]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US) AppleWebKit/532.2 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/4.0.222.5 Safari/532.2
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (x11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1.3) Gecko/20090824 Firefox/3.5.3

Sporadically, attempts to use the auto-complete function on the location bar lead to a short flicker of the "results" that immediately disappears and does not come back up as typing continues. This recurs even if a new tab is opened.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open several firefox tabs
2. Type something in the location bar
3.
Actual Results:  
Quick flicker, then nothing; just as described above.

Expected Results:  
Displayed the results until one was chosen or I pressed enter.

Does this happen in safe-mode as well? http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode

This bug has been marked as CLOSEME for several weeks and the date on the tag is far past. If the reporter is still able to reproduce, Please retest with Firefox 3.6.15 or later and a new profile (http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Managing+profiles). Then remove the CLOSEME tag, mark the proper version and comment on this bug.
