STR:

* Open http://www.spanishdict.com.
* Tap and hold the main text field.
* Choose "Add Search Engine".
* Tap and hold "English". You'll see selection handles appear. Drag each of them around a couple of times. Crash reporter will appear.

I have also checked that this crashes when adding a search engine for a really short page title (duckduckgo.com).

This is on the current (no updates available) beta Fx14 on Android 2.3.5.

Shares a stack with Bug 754656, and probably plenty of others, because this is a pretty non-specific tripwire.

Does it happen on Aurora?

Comment 4

[Richard Newman [:rnewman]]

Didn't try; can't fit both versions on this phone!

Comment 5

[Richard Newman [:rnewman]]

Yes, repro on Aurora 15, same device. 

Could not repro on RAZR. Much faster phone, and selection handles are blue-black blades rather than green bobbles - Blur vs Sense? 

Running SwiftKey on both, but selection behavior unchanged without on Droid, so hesitant to point fingers.

I'm unable to reproduce this on my Galaxy Nexus (Android 4.1.1), Nightly (07/15).

If you're interested, please try an HTC Sense device, ideally one that's old and slow. I can reproduce this 100% of the time in both Aurora and Beta.

[Naoki Hirata :nhirata (please use needinfo instead of cc)]

different from a regression from Bug 746946?

Comment 9

[Richard Newman [:rnewman]]

I would guess that it's same symptoms, same category of bug, different buggy code.

Comment 10

[Chris Peterson [:cpeterson]]

I can't repro with Firefox 16 or Nightly 19.

Just for the sake of thoroughness: did you try a slow device running HTC Sense? I was unable to reproduce on other devices (see Comment 5).

If not, I will try to repro myself.

oh, sorry. I was testing a Galaxy Nexus. I don't have an HTC Sense. But I do know that I have seen (and fixed) similar "Add Search Engine" crashes (on many phones, including Galaxy Nexus) over the past months.
