963449 - Incorrect autocomplete text deletion in urlbar

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

Attachment: google-autocomplete.png

On a N4 with Swiftkey, there seems to be a race condition in deleting the autofill text when typing a string that starts with the same letter as an autocompleted url.

Not sure if this is related to Swiftkey; also not sure if it's a regression.

STR:
1. Ensure some urls have been visited and can be autocompleted by the awesomebar.
2. Tap on urlbar to bring up keyboard.
3. (Timing sensitive) As soon as keyboard pops up, type something that starts with a letter that matches an autocomplete-able url (e.g. gibberishanhoeu to match google.com)

Expected:
Typed string is displayed in urlbar

Actual:
Typed string is inserted into autocomplete url

Swiftkey board again .... :-)

I looked at swift keyboard previously in regard to a text selection related bug, and do suspect it of spurious behaviours, though this wouldn't seem to fall under that component... (more appropriate in Keyboard/IME/jchen maybe?)

In either case, I can't reproduce this on a GS3, nor on an N7 with (and without) swift keyboard, and various combinations of settings (spell-check on/off, spacebar complete yes/no, auto-cap yes/no, "search settings" set to "show/don't show" suggestions, etc) ... Can you see this on a different device?

I'm not familiar here, but looking at this bit: http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/mobile/android/base/toolbar/ToolbarEditText.java?mark=146,146#127 as possibly involved, thought it seems to behave differently on release than on nightly.
