[Bug 1373918] [NEW] Address bar text can get overwritten if page loads whilst editing

 

Public bug reported:

Steps to reproduce

1. Start loading a new page

2. Whilst loading edit the address bar, replacing the text with
something new

3. Wait for original page to finish loading

Expected result

Text the user entered should be preserved

Actual result

When the page starts to load the address bar text gets replaced with the
new URL.


This is easiest to see on slow connections as the change happens early in the loading process.

I suspect this could be fixed by checking that addressbar.state isn't
"editing" in AddressBar's onActualUrlChanged handler.
