812306 - awesomebar suggestions seem to be dropping keystrokes

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 808114

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Steve Fink [:sfink] [:s:]]

I recently updated my nightly from one that was a week or three old. When typing in the location bar, I have always gotten pauses while the awesomebar was computing suggestions (or something), but previously my keystrokes during that time would be remembered. In my current nightly, those keystrokes are being dropped.

My current nightly is 19.0a1 (2012-11-13), built from http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/1b0226622e94

From IRC:

<sfink>	argh! Is it just me, or are awesomebar suggestion fetches eating keystrokes in a recent nightly? (On linux, at least)
<jlebar>	sfink, I've noticed that too; thought it was my keyboard.
<dholbert>	sfink, I've absolutely noticed it
<dholbert>	sfink, particularly in the last 1-2 weeks

I wrote a little script and also tried to reproduce this manually. Both times mozregression yielded the following regression range:

I can't spot anything suspicious in there, though...
