Package: iceweasel Version: 2.0.0.6-1 Severity: normal Hello,
I will give an example to illustrate my point. I have tried it out in "safe mode". (1) I enter "minimal entropy martingale measure" in Google's search text box (2) When the results come up, I want change my search text to "minimal martingale measure". I click just after the word "entropy" in the text box at the top of the results page, and the completion "minimal entropy martingale measure" appears appears in a menu below the box (even though that same string is also already in the box). (Actually, this happens only about 50% of the time, it may be necessary to try clicking at different parts of the word) Since I had to click on the search box to change the text, my cursor is right near the box. When I take my hand off the mouse to type, the cursor happens to move down a few pixels (this happens a lot when I use a trackpad, but also when I use my optical mouse), briefly crossing over the menu of completions. (3) This results in the single completion being highlighted. Inexplicably, it stays highlighted even when my mouse has moved off of it to below the bottom of the menu. Even more strangely, it stays highlighted when I start typing in the text box. (4) I hit delete a few times to delete the word "entropy", but the completion "minimal martingale martingale measure", the text of my original search, is still highlighted. (5) I hit enter. This doesn't result in a new search with the new contents of the search box, as I had hoped; but it results in the completion (a useless completion, no less, since it was the original text of the box) being selected, and the edit I just made disappearing, and the text "minimal martingale martingale measure" returning to the search box, and no search happening. So, completion as implemented in this program (is it possible to turn it off, by the way?) is basically incompatible with my mouse moving down a few pixels after I take my hand off of it. That seems rather demanding - the mouse is an analog device and the cursor can't be expected to stay 100% still all the time. In general, it seems like a good idea for a highlighted menu selection to become unhighlighted when the user starts typing, even in the case where it is still under the cursor (which it is not, in my example above), since typing generally indicates a lack of intent to click. Thank you in advance - I hope that this can be eventually fixed...
