Issue descriptionUserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_13_6) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/69.0.3497.92 Safari/537.36 Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. begin typing a url in the address bar until Chrome shows you a suggested auto-complete result (the remaining part will appear in blue highlighting) 2. hit tab 3. observe that it does not actually autocomplete the suggested result What is the expected behavior? It should auto complete the first suggested result when you hit the tab key. It should be have 100% exactly as if I hit the "enter" key. What went wrong? It doesn't do that. It basically just clears the autocomplete result which is counter intuitive. Did this work before? N/A Chrome version: 69.0.3497.92 Channel: stable OS Version: OS X 10.13.6 Flash Version:

willashley23@ Thanks for the issue. Able to reproduce the issue on Windows 10, Mac OS 10.13.3 and Ubuntu 17.10 on the latest Stable 69.0.3497.100 and the latest Canary 71.0.3555.0 by following the given steps above. This is a Non-Regression issue as this is observed from M-60 chrome builds. Hence marking this as Untriaged for further updates from Dev. Thanks..

willashley23: this is working as intended. The tab key is used to move focus down the list of suggestions offered in the dropdown below the omnibox. Given that tab is generally used to move keyboard focus and not to activate controls, it is our belief that the current behavior is the most appropriate. However, I'd be interested to know why your expectation was that tab would produce the same outcome as the enter key. If there's some other UI (esp. in Chrome itself) that behaves this way, please reopen this issue and let me know. |
