82787 - invisible autocomplete widget eats clicks

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 66834

(Core :: XUL, defect)

Description

[saari (gone)]

It looks like there is an invisible auto complete widget that is eating a click 
to roll it up.

1) open 2 windows
2) type in the url bar on one window, do not press enter.
3) click on the other window. nothing happens
4) click again on the other window, this time, the window comes forward

Looks like there maybe be an invisible autocomplete widget eating that first 
click. This should be 0.9.1

This is a bug I keep forgetting to file.  While working on autocomplete I was
constantly running into the problem of the autocomplete popup refusing the paint
itself under certain conditions.  Primarily, it won't paint itself when there
are no matches for 2 consecutive keystrokes.

This seems to be due to the contained outliner not having any new paint events
on itself.  There are some commented out dumps in autocomplete.xml to make sure
that I'm actually telling the popup to open.  It does THINK that it is open, but
it just doesn't paint.

Giving to pinkerton as a first guess for who might own this.

This sounds like two different bugs, please file a separate bug for the paint
problem.  Reverting summary to original description, ->1.0

This might be a duplicate of bug 66834, "location bar drop-down should not block
clicks outside of itself".

not going to get to it. --> toolkit

Nominating for mozilla1.0. This bug results in a usability issue in Penzilla
that would ideally be corrected by 1.0.

Nothing has happened to move this bug along in a long time, but it is still
causing usability issues, in Mozilla as well as for OEone.

Also, the OS is wrong as this is definitely not only happening in Windows 2000.

I don't get an invisible autocomplete widget when I type in the URL bar anymore,
because I always get at least "Search for .." as one option in the autocomplete.

Anyway, this bug is really a dup of bug 66834.
