107702 - typing URL in URL-bar, loads new tab when it shouldn't

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 105537

(SeaMonkey :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

[Phillip Rhodes]

From Bugzilla Helper:
BuildID:    2001102903

Typing a URL into the URL-bar, and hitting enter causes the selected URL to load 
into a new tab, instead of the current tab.  CTL+Enter should cause this 
behavior, I believe, not plain Enter.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Laucnh Mozilla
2. Click in the URL-bar
3. Type over the existing URL with a new one
4. hit enter


Actual Results:  A new tab was opened, and loaded the URL which was typed in.

Expected Results:  It should have loaded the URL in the current tab, and should 
not have opened a new tab at all.

I believe this is the correct behavior for the CTL+Enter key binding, but is 
obviously not correct for plain Enter.

I can confirm this with build 2001103003 on Windows 95

When I have the "Open Tab on CTRL+Enter in the URL Bar" pref enabled,

ENTER opens the url in a new tab
CTRL+ENTER does absolutely nothing

Just to confirm what [e-mail] reported, I am actually
getting the behavior he described.  

ENTER, loads a new tab
CTRL+ENTER, does nothing.
