PM selects all text in adress bar and in search bar while i just changing input language

[jdeimeks]

PM v27, git-version:27.2.0a1 (64-bit) (2017-01-30), Arch Linux
How can i disable "select all" behavior after changing input language in the adress/search bar.
Multilingual search from an adress bar is very painfull because of this.
Need to press an extra Arrow/End button every time after changing input language in order not to delete what was already typed.

Toggling browser.urlbar.clickSelectsAll and browser.urlbar.doubleClickSelectsAll solved the issue for the url bar.
But not for search bar, changing input language there selects all text.

Changing input language or search engine to continue your search with added terms using a different input language is a corner case that falls outside of scope for the search bar.

You'll just have to deal with it, because the most common case where selection of search terms is desired takes priority.

Think that i wasn't clear enough about this.
Will try tomorrow.

And btw switching between search engines selects all text in search bar but don't copy it into selection buffer.

I would say that it is then directly related to your system software for language input. In which case we can't do anything about it, at all.

Same happens to me when I change the language on i3, but in sway it doesn't happen (I use my own switcher).
After pocking a while it's because of the language switching ibus floating window which appears every time I change the language. It makes the window manager lose the focus on Pale Moon...

I've found that under Xfce all it takes is to alt-tab to another window and back to Pale Moon for all the text to be selected. I only started seeing this once I upgraded to PM27. PM26 didn't change the selection at all. I've wiped out a couple half-typed searches because of the change, but I'm starting to get used to pressing the right arrow key before continuing to type!

I can reproduce this behavior in Pale Moon 27 under Fedora 25 and XFCE specifically, however, the address bar must already have focus before you switch windows.
