Using: Firefox trunk on Mac, local build Steps to reproduce: 1. Cmd+L 2. Right 3. Type "xxx" 4. Cmd+A 5. Cmd+X Result: the "xxx" part of the URL is not moved to the clipboard. I've been hitting this bug frequently, with slightly different steps, while trying to copy URLs from Firefox into IRC. I don't know if this is a Location Bar bug or an Editor bug.

The location bar has its own controller for copy and cut operations. Here is the code responsible for grabbing the selected part of the text from the location bar: <http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/browser/base/content/urlbarBindings.xml#425> What's incorrect here is the value returned by selectionEnd. The reason that this happens is that appending the text as done in comment 0 causes us to create a new textframe, and selectionEnd fails to handle that correctly.

Comment on attachment 483527 [details] [diff] [review] Patch (v1) Don't we need to fix urlBindings.xml as well? It shouldn't be depending on this.

It shouldn't be depending on > this. I don't think there's anything wrong with urlbarBindings.xml. It's realying on selectionStart and selectionEnd, which are APIs that we expose to content. I don't see what's wrong with depending on those APIs.
