111869 - Dragging link to location/URL bar should replace, not insert/append

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(SeaMonkey :: Location Bar, defect)

Description

[xyzzy]

Using build 2001112003 under Windows 98, if I grab the site icon in the URL bar
and drag it, then decide to drop it back onto the URL bar, the text of the URL
gets appended to the URL bar.  I can think of a few better ways to handle this:

1) Replace the URL bar text, no append (possibly select it?)
2) Reload the page
3) Do not allow this type of drag and drop

Any implementation could also check to see if oldURL == newURL, and if so,
behave consistently (reload or do nothing).

MASS-CHANGE:
This bug report is registered in the SeaMonkey product, but has been without a comment since the inception of the SeaMonkey project. This means that it was logged against the old Mozilla suite and we cannot determine that it's still valid for the current SeaMonkey suite. Because of this, we are setting it to an UNCONFIRMED state.

If you can confirm that this report still applies to current SeaMonkey 2.x nightly builds, please set it back to the NEW state along with a comment on how you reproduced it on what Build ID, or if it's an enhancement request, why it's still worth implementing and in what way.
If you can confirm that the report doesn't apply to current SeaMonkey 2.x nightly builds, please set it to the appropriate RESOLVED state (WORKSFORME, INVALID, WONTFIX, or similar).
If no action happens within the next few months, we move this bug report to an EXPIRED state.

This bug report is registered in the SeaMonkey product, but still has no comment since the inception of the SeaMonkey project 5 years ago.

Because of this, we're resolving the bug as EXPIRED.

If you still can reproduce the bug on SeaMonkey 2 or otherwise think it's still valid, please REOPEN it and if it is a platform or toolkit issue, move it to the according component.
