136303 - Clear button looks like a Close Button.

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: Location Bar, defect)

Description

[Joseph Elwell]

There's a new button that showed up next to the URL bar. It's tooltip says,
"Clear the location bar". Pressing it clears the text in the location bar.
However the button is the same icon used for close buttons. So users would think
that something is going to close in that toolbar. My Expectaion was that the
entire URL portion (that is encircled in the Navigation Toolbar) would disapear.
Much like the "X" on the Sidebar tab closes/kills the sidebar.

In Windows, if you hit F11 to enter Full Screen Mode you'll see how clearly the
Clear button resembles the Close button.

If the desire of this button is to clear the URL bar, can we at least make the
button visually different from the Close button?

Verifying.  Probably more invalid than worksforme, but whatever.
