#3129 closed defect (fixed)

Description (last modified by greiner)

Environment

Windows 7 x64
Firefox 41.0
Adblock Plus 2.6.11
No filter list is used

How to reproduce

  1. Go to Firefox Options -> Advanced -> General and make sure the option "Search for text when I start typing" is switched on
  2. Get to Adblock Plus and double click any rule to start editing
  3. Type any character (like "a") and it will go to now opened Findbar to fill it, not to the rule name.

Observed behaviour

While editing a rule the typed characters are filling the Findbar, not the rule name.

Expected behaviour

If you edit the rule what you type should get to the rule name, not Findbar.

This was broken in 2.6.11, version 2.6.10 works fine.

What to change

Make sure that in "filters.xul" #findbar's "_findAsYouType" property is set to false to prevent the findbar from being opened by interactions with the filter tree. This property reflects the value of the accessibility.typeaheadfind preference which is the one behind the "Search for text when I start typing" option.

This bug seems different from #2580. It reveals itself only after the last ABP version (2.6.11). So they should not be duplicated, maybe just linked.
