592699 - add-on with textbox value added to collection when removing previous add-on and clicking Add to Collection before search is finished

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(addons.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Collections, defect)

Description

[Tobias (:Tobbi) Markus]

When you are on the add collections page and add an add-on, remove it again, search for another add-on and click the 'Add to collection' button before the actual search is finished, a collection with the value of the textbox as its name gets created.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Go to https://next.addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/collections/add
2. Scroll down until you have the add Add-ons to your collection field.
3. Add some add-on to your collection, doesn't matter what it is. (I took "Adblock Plus").
4. Remove the add-on you just added by clicking the remove button.
5. Enter another search term in the add-on search box and hit the Add to collection button before the search is finished.
