Bug 76058 – Web Inspector: [TextPrompt] Autocomplete adds unwanted text that's hard to remove

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: Web Inspector (Deprecated)

[Alexander Pavlov (apavlov)]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open the Web Inspector
2. Type in the console: str.replace(/is/, 'was')
3. Try to type a "g" after /is/ to make it a global replace

What is the expected result?
A "g". That's it. Just a "g".

What happens instead?
The 'smart' autocomplete adds 'getComputedStyle' and it won't go away! If you backspace, you backspace the last letter of getComputedStyle, not the whole thing. If you backspace all the way back, it just adds "etComputedStyle" again. If you ESC it's gone for half a second and than it's there again.

It's not only annoying, it actually breaks functionality! The new autocomplete is a little too eager.

Could you add a test that emits Right, Right, Right on various user inputs and checks that popup is never shown?

Lets wait before we do this one.
