690919 - Navigating location bar auto-complete entries with up/down keys jumps the cursor many times.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 690843

(Firefox :: Address Bar, defect)

Description

[Michael Westbom]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.2; Win64; x64; rv:10.0a1) Gecko/20110930 Firefox/10.0a1
Build ID: 20110930030850

Steps to reproduce:

I entered the text for the title of a website.  I have multiple similar entries in my history, thus the auto-complete drop-down menu provides numerous entries to select from.  Upon loading of the auto-complete drop-down, I pressed the down key to move the cursor to the one I wanted.


Actual results:

The cursor jumped nearly halfway down the list of entries, skipping over several entries.  Pressing the up key moves it some more.  It's difficult to see exactly how many entries it moves, but both the up and down keys move the cursor multiple locations at a time.


Expected results:

The yellow-highlighted selection cursor should move from its current location to either the selection above or below, depending on which key is pressed.

It's worth noting that this behavior is not replicable in other Firefox components.  For example, scrolling up and down with the arrow keys performs properly, as does navigating selections within the Downloads window.
