925386 - Location bar autocomplete overwrites clipboard contents in Linux

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 924069

(Firefox :: Address Bar, defect)

Description

[Mark Reid [:mreid]]

In previous versions, the Location bar's autocomplete feature would not interfere with the middle-click clipboard buffer in Linux, but recently it has started replacing the clipboard contents with the autocompleted URL.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select some text to put something in the clipboard buffer
2. Open a new tab
3. Type a few characters to trigger autocomplete (ie. "go")
4. Middle-click paste into a new document

Expected results:
Paste text selected in #1 above

Actual results:
Paste the auto-completed part of the URL (not even the full URL). In my case, "ogle.ca/"

My configuration:
Firefox Nightly 27.0a1 (2013-10-10)
Ubuntu 13.04
