Description

[Francisco León]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.4+) Gecko/20011001
BuildID:    2001100101

On this build, text in url bar is not selectable unless the text
is not matched in the autocomplete box below

This is really bad

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Type an url known in the autocomplete bar
2. Try to select it by double clicking


Actual Results:  Autocomplete bar takes focus and does not let you select the text


Expected Results:  Behaviour from older builds, let the text be selectable

Linux, kde 2.2.1

Hmm... actually text IS getting copied to the clipboard, but now the selection
is not being "hold", it automatically copies to the clipboard and cancels the
selection

So, the bug i posted is invalid. If the selection is not meant to be canceled,
then reopen this bug. Otherwise verify it

Lol i cant make my mind today
The real reason i posted this bug, is because if the selection gets lost then i
cant erase the urlbar with a key, and forces me to do lots of stuff to erase the
urlbar in order to get to another address.

So, reopening

Ok, i found out the culprit.
In the preferences, turning on in location autocomplete "autocomplete best match
as you type" makes this bug appear. Older builds 2 weeks ago dont have this problem.
