155579 - Drag&Drop Link into URL Bar doesn't clear bar first

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 111869

(SeaMonkey :: Location Bar, enhancement)

Description

[Michael Arm]

If I drag a link from a webpage to the URL bar at the top, the link is being
inserted into the existing URL (of course depending after which letter I drop
the new URL). It should be made, so the drag and drop action first empties the
bar, like in Internet Explorer for example.

For example:
I'm at http://www.somesite.com and a link leads to http://www.someothersite.com.
If I now drag the new link into the URL bar, I get an URL like
"http://www.somesihttp://someothersite.comte.com" where I only want the
http://www.someothersite.com

Of course I could only click on the URL, but if I'm currently surfing in a
frameset and want to load the new page into the same browser-window without the
frames, I usually dragged and dropped the URL into the URL bar, and all was good.

Confirming on 2002070108/Win2K and marking as NEW, although it's similar to bug
111869.

I agree - I think this should be a dup of bug 111869
