148620 - Entered URL disappears if tabs have been switched and no connection could be established

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 104778

(SeaMonkey :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

[Nikolai Prokoschenko]

Try to reproduce:

1. Find a site that you cannot connect to (using a slow connection for a better
effect)
2. Open two tabs
3. Open some site in one tab and switch to to the second
4. Enter the URL, press Enter and quickly switch to the first tab and back
(works best with Ctrl-PgUp Ctrl-PgDn)

Result: "about:blank" in the address line 
Expected result: Entered URL in the address line

This bug has been really annoying me for a long time already - e.g. if I
middle-click too many links in a row (for example, reading Slashdot or browsing
Bugzilla :)))  some links might not be loaded due to a slow connection (I have
56k-line) and I am not even able to reload them - because the address is not there!!
