103806 - double-clicking location bar grabs X server

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: Location Bar, defect, P3)

From Bugzilla Helper:

BuildID:    20011007

I want to select the current URL so I can copy it into another window.  I'd
expect to double-click the text in the location bar, move to another window, and
middle-mouse, but recently, the double-click selects the URL, but also drops
down the bar's menu (after a short delay) and Mozilla grabs the X server with
the right-pointing arrow cursor.  I then have to click somewhere else to make it
ungrab, then go paste.

Reproducible: Always

I can reproduce this with Release 0.9.5 on Red Hat 7.1.  The problem is worse if
you enable "Smart Browsing -> Advanced -> Autocomplete as you type".  The drop
down appears and the URL is not highlighted, making it very difficult to type a
new URL.

This doesn't happen with the latest trunk build (2001101512).

I can also verify this doesn't happen with trunk build 20011013; it must have
gotten fixed in the intervening week.

Using Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.5) Gecko/20011012:

When I use the mouse to mark the URL in the location bar, then want to use
CTRL-C/X to copy/cut it. This does no longer work (it worked in 0.9.4), since
the menu drops down.

Joe was dying to have these bugs. Who am I to say no?

Still, if you go int the field and mark it using only the keyboard, then CTRL-X
(or CTRL-C) in many cases it cannot be pasted (middle mouse button) to another
application. That really hurts. SO "future" is a bad target.
