How does one investigate this?

Gosh a lot of regressions from bug 566489 !

Bug 720258 Quote: "There's already anger over inline-autocomplete, and I don't think that's going to go away as the change gets rolled out to more users"
Bug 720240 "Enable inline autocomplete again, but make it smarter" actually made it dumber

I'm going through the regressions, most are in the controller and due to pre-existing bugs, others are just bugs that were already there with the old implementation but being reported again. I'll now look into bug 720792 that is likely the change most impacting Seamonkey. The other changes should not have an interesting impact, but feel free to ask and I'll try to answer.

I think there should be no side effects as of now, apart possible new bugs introduced, but that's another story.

Removing this bug from my bug radar.
