815178 - Google autocompletes the query when I change tab.

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: Keyboard Navigation, defect)

Description

[Luca]

I noticed an issue when I was trying to copy a text wrote in an image, from a tab in to another tab in where there was google.

When I switch from a tab with google while the autocomplete popup is opened, to another tab, the google's query is auto-completed with the first item from the popup; so my query is changed even if I don't want.
Note that this issue occurs only if you change the tab using keyboard shortcuts (CTRL+TAB and CTRL+SHIFT+TAB).
I noticed this issue only since the release 17.

To reproduce this issue:
1) open 1 tab with google, and other tab with something else;
2) switch to the google tab and type something to open the auto-complete popup;
3) switch the tab, before using keyboard shortcut, and later using the mouse.
You can notice that switching the tab by the mouse the query is kept unaltered, but if you switch the tab using CTRL+TAB, the query is changed by auto-complete system.

I think the query must not changed until the user don't acts to change it; and I think the behavior should be the same for keyboard shortcut and for mouse operation.
