Package: firefox-esr
Version: 128.14.0esr-1~deb13u1
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
Dear Maintainer,
[This report is similar to https://bugs.debian.org/1113708, but with
updates. 1113708 may be discarded.]
* Since upgrading to Debian Trixie, and *only* when running on
Plasma (Wayland), the URL bar autocompletion and suggestions
drop-down have been behaving erratically.
All screencasts (broken/expected behaviour):
https://imgur.com/a/SPPcepC
- Autocomplete suggestions no longer show up.
- Suggestions drop-down works, but rapidly redraws (closes and
opens with new results) with each keystroke, creating a
distracting jittery animation.
- In 2FA forms with a separate *box* for each digit—like
Proton—the cursor jumps ahead twice instead of once after
each keystroke. Also TAB or arrow keys don't work. So I have to
selct each text box with the mouse, for each of the six digits.
* Attemped fixes, with no success:
- Purged and re-installed Firefox, including different release
channels besides ESR like, Nightly, Developer Edition, and
Librewolf. Deleted user profile directory each time.
- Ran in 'Troubleshoot Mode', and ran a fresh install with no
addons.
- Tried non-Firefox browsers to check for the same problem:
Chromium, Konqueror.
- Tried running under Gnome (Wayland), and Plasma (X11).
- Tweaking Plasma (Wayland) settings like animation, font sizes,
anti-aliasing, etc.
* Findings:
- Issue only exists in Firefox based browsers, and only while
running in Plasma (Wayland). Firefox works as expected under
GNOME (Wayland) and Plasma (X11). Other browsers are
unaffected.
- All versions, release channels, and forks of Firefox are
affected, including Librewolf. Re-installs and tweaks in
mentioned Plasma settings have no effect on this behaviour.
- Turning off font anti-aliasing in Plasma momentarily fixed the
problem once, but this didn't last and couldn't be repeated.
- A similar text-field issue in 'emacs-pgtk' of disappearing
search-failures, was caused by a mismatch in monospace font
sizes between Emacs settings and Plasma font settings. Updating
plasma settings to same size (12) DejaVu Sans Mono resolved
this issue. No such luck with Firefox. [screencast included
above]
* Expected behaviour:
- URL bar shows a highlighted autocomplete suggestion as per
user settings, if matches exist in bookmarks, history, etc.
- The URL bar suggestions drop down remains open while typing,
and only the listing within it gets updated when new text is
entered.
- In 2FA forms, the cursor should move to the next box/field when
a digit is entered.

'IBus Wayland' was selected as the Virtual Keyboard in Plasma settings.
Changing that to 'None', fixed it.
