[Bug 1064546] New: Firefox: Ctrl+Backspace behaviour
http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1064546 Bug ID: 1064546 Summary: Firefox: Ctrl+Backspace behaviour Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Distribution Version: Leap 42.3 Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Firefox Assignee: bnc-team-mozilla@forge.provo.novell.com Reporter: jakob.jakobson13@posteo.de QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- Dear developers, I stumbled upon an odd behaviour of firefox. If you are for example on the following page: https://www.swr.de/swraktuell/bw/suedbaden/-/id=1552/kbz7p6/index.html and now click into the adress bar and set the cursor behind the last letter of the internet adress, pressing Ctrl+Backspace deletes the complete adress whereas in other linux distributions and Windows one press of Ctrl+Backspace shortens the internet adress just to https://www.swr.de/swraktuell/bw/suedbaden/-/id=1552/kbz7p6/index. I find the Windows behaviour much more convinient and I wondered why firefox behaves differently in OpenSUSE. Is there any reason for that?

We indeed change this behaviour from default to "false" in our installations. If I remember correctly the last 15 years we changed this once and people complained and changed it back. I cannot find a reference anymore though. Anyway I reconsider it to change it for future versions if you confirm that this is the behaviour you are looking for. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

I personally find it more convenient. But if nobody else complained then you can keep it the way it is now and I'll adjust the setting for myself on my installation. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

It's a totally weird behavior. In EVERY other scenario, textboxes behave like stop_at_punctuation=true Tested with: - Chromium (openSUSE-15.1 OSS) - Thunderbird (openSUSE-15.1 OSS) - Firefox on every other Platform (Ubuntu, Windows, ...) - Windows 7 textbox at: Start > Run -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Updated the ticket openSUSE-"Version" field to 15.1, because the behavior is still present in openSUSE-Leap-15.1. Another person seems to be bothered by this. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1546524 Remember, this affects: - every textbox (URL bar, textboxes on websites and in Firefox settings) - CTRL+left/right/backspace This 17 year old ticket might be the reason why the patch was introduced by openSUSE. But all problems described in that ticket and in referenced tickets seems to be resolved since many years. And I think setting stop_at_punctuation=false brings more problems than it solves. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=193025 -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
