If you begin to type a URL in the address location and then switch tabs, then
switch back, the partially entered URL is lost -- it is reset to what was there
before you started typing.  This isn't a huge problem, but it recently was
annoying to me when I had a split up URL in an email message.  What I wanted to
do is copy the first hunk of the URL from one tab, open a new tab, paste it, go
back to the original tab, copy the second hunk of the URL, switch back to the
new tab and append the second chunk, etc...

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open at least two tabs
2. Type a partial URL in the first tab (e.g. http://www.yahoo)
3. Switch to the second tab, then switch back
4. Notice that the partial URL is lost

Actual Results:  Partial URL gets lost

Expected Results:  Partial URL should remain
