With Mozilla 1.2.1-r1 and previous, you could type press Alt+d to get the address bar completely highlighted and then you could instantly type a new address without having to delete the already present one... Mozilla 1.2.1-r5 showed up in a recent emerge -u world, and now this functionality has been removed. It wasn't present in Mozilla 1.0.x series, but people wanted this conveinent function, so it was added in 1.1 and finally incorporated into the 1.2.x branch. It looks like something in the -r5 has subsequently removed it...could we get it back?
BLEH, severe apologies, it appears that Mozilla 1.3-r1 is the latest in portage, so this problem is occuring in 1.3-r1 not 1.2.1-r5...I'll probably just revert to the version containing the desired behavior... Although I miss the function, I doubt a removed function deserves a bug report, so please kill/close/delete this bug report...
I find that in Mozilla 1.3-r1, I can not type into the address bar initially. This problem persists until I have displayed one or two pages from the bookmarks. More precise description: I can use the mouse to put the focus in and out of the address bar and highlight part of the address displayed, but no key press seems to have any effect. It is very annoying, because I hardly ever use bookmarks, but simply type initial letters from addresses and then select from the automatic completion menu. This is not the bug reported initially, but seems closely related.
ctrl-l focuses input to the address bar on all versions of mozilla. The address bar should most likely be preselected, but that's a bug that needs to be filed with mozilla.org itself.
