148595 - URL Bar is empty and won't accept input

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 144349

(SeaMonkey :: Location Bar, defect)

Description

[Mattias Nordstrom]

Sometimes when I start Mozilla the URL bar is completely empty (except for the
icon). It won't accept anything, but one can click on bookmarks to get around
(or links on pages), however, the URL bar is still empty and does not show the
current URL. There is a very easy workaround. I click on Mail, close the
previous navigator window, open a new navigator window from Mail and the URL bar
is alive again. This happens randomly at startup, every fourth time or so.

I'm using a nightly build from the 1.0 branch (2002052909) but I've noticed this
with a few previous versions too. I think it started after RC1 or 2.

not a dupe of bug 131627 but I'm sure they're both a supe of something I've seen

I don't think this is a dup of the "sometimes can't enter stuff in textboxes"
bug.  This bug also caused/causes the location bar to not update when a new page
loads.
