Note: I made sure that the URL is not highlighted.

I'm seeing different but still wrong behavior.  When I try to delete a character at the end of the URL, a character from the middle of the URL is deleted instead.

Yes, I see this too. But if I press DEL again, it usually clears the entire string.

closing bug 614298, and noting here that this behavior also exists in the text fields on the sync fallback screen.

I can also reproduce these two issues, but in 8 out of 10 cases it deletes the whole URL.

Erasing the whole field was fixed by bug 614223.  The remaining problems in comment 2 will be fixed by bug 614293.

[Anna (Waverley)]

After fixing bug 614223, I cannot erase any field in about:config (this is a reproducible issue). Sometimes, it happens in the URL bar too, but I don't have STR.
