100805 - Using Ctrl-Shift-L to open location requires 2 enter presses for known locations

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 83922

(SeaMonkey :: Location Bar, defect)

Description

[Chris DiPierro]

From Bugzilla Helper:

BuildID:    2001091303

If I attempt to open a website via Ctrl-Shift-L and then type the URL, if the
site is one I've been to before (such that it is listed in the drop-down list),
but I complete the URL by keyboard (no mouse intervention), and hit enter, the
box is populated, but the browser will not open the URL (though the drop-down
list does disappear). I must hit enter a second time to actually go to the URL.

If I've never been to that URL before, the drop-down list doesn't appear and
hitting enter once works.

But this is extremely annoying when just trying to type a quick site, and should
be consistent with Windows UI conventions.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to a website (ex. slashdot.org)
2. Open a new browser window and hit Ctl-****-L
3. Type "slashdot.org" in the box
4. Hit enter
5. Must hit enter a 2nd time to actually go to website

Actual Results:  See description

Expected Results:  Browser should open the URL immediately upon hitting enter
even if it's already in the drop-down list
