Form Fill History Is Not Being Recorded
 
 
New Profile
formhistory.sqlite should be empty (no records at least)
Load http://www.gmail.com/
Type 'abc123' into the Email (username) field & hit return

At that point, the form history should have been saved.
It is not.
 
 
This is a regression since SeaMonkey 2.19.
Attached file Testcase.
Start with a new Profile
Type something into the text box & hit return

Confirm that the entered data has not been saved in Form History.
Any pre-existing form history will be used, but no new history is being recorded.

SeaMonkey 2.20 is affected.
Oddly SeaMonkey 2.22 is not?
(I have not tested 2.21.)
Confirmed for the 2.20 release. I've tested current tinderbox builds for 2.21 on the beta channel and they are not affected, neither are current 2.22a2 builds. Thus, the problem is restricted to 2.20.

Firefox is currently spinning a 23.0.1 release, but unless it contains a fix from that end, probably too late to do anything about it within this time frame.
I guess there is no visible error message in the Error Console?
Nothing that I saw.
With that testcase, I get "Warning: A form was submitted in the windows-1252 encoding which cannot encode all Unicode characters, so user input may get corrupted. To avoid this problem, the page should be changed so that the form is submitted in the UTF-8 encoding either by changing the encoding of the page itself to UTF-8 or by specifying accept-charset=utf-8 on the form element." However, I'm seeing this with both 2.20 and 2.22a2, so that's not the cause.
Per discussion in today's meeting, I've checked the testcase with the Firefox 23.0 release and it is *not* affected, thus that stays SeaMonkey 2.20 only.
