912511 - Input type=number loses focus when "Search for text when I start typing" is enabled.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 791653

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect)

Description

[Mark Straver]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:24.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/24.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20130829135643

Steps to reproduce:

1. Enable type=number input html5 form element with dom.experimental_forms
2. Enable "Search for text when I start typing" in Options -> Advanced -> General
3. Go to http://www.w3schools.com/html/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml5_input_type_number
4. Try typing in the input box


Actual results:

Focus is shifted to the search box (input type=number is not considered an input field). It's impossible to type anything in the input field.


Expected results:

Focus should remain on the input field, like it does when type=number is disabled.

I think it's a duplicate of bug 791653. But this one gives a better explanation of what happens: "Focus is shifted to the search box (input type=number is not considered an input field)".
