Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 444728

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[knujnuifvniwenrhbosa]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.5) Gecko/20091102 Firefox/3.5.5 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.5) Gecko/20091102 Firefox/3.5.5 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)

When a field is autocompleted it ignores the maxlength value so if maxlength = "10" and the autocomplete text is "foo bar blah blah blah" is should only display "foo bar bl" not the entire text.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set up a long autocomplete on a field, eg "foo bar blah blah blah"
2. select the autocomplete text on a field with a shorter maxlength say 10
3.
Actual Results:  
field display "foo bar blah blah blah"

Expected Results:  
"foo bar bl"

Upgrade to Firefox 3.6 where it's fixed.
