By the way, the content does appear to be somehow updated, just not visually.
Here's an example of what I mean:

1. Go to www.yahoo.com
2. Click on the "What's New" link at the top
3. In the URL field, select the text "yahoo" as part of the domain name, and type
in "netscape"

---> As soon as you type a character into the URL field, the actual URL (rather
than the one that we typed in earlier) will appear in the URL field. You can also
get the same results in some pages by resizing the window. <--

** Note that this bug doesn't occur on Linux, either; just Mac OS. Yum. (tm)

Digging with the debugger, the new text is being correctly set, just the widget
isn't redrawn after the text changes. Windowshading the window will force a
redraw that causes it to display correctly. Viewer is doing the right thing, but
the redraw just isn't happening.

fix in hand, waiting for tree to open.

added a call to invalidate the widget on SetText()

Re-opening after checking 1.13.99 Mac builds.

Specifically:

- launched 1.13.99 build
- selected contents of URL field
- replaced with 'www.macintouch.com'
- hit return
- Pressed the "Back" button.

Now, the URL text field was simply left blank, including after resizing the
window. Ditto after going forward. Same behavior upon clicking on a web page's
link.

Good luck. ;)

Verified fixed in 1.14.99 build. (Haven't specifically done a full set of
verifications; just haven't seen any problems after a few hours of regular use.)

Thanks, Mike!
