Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. double-click inside the address bar 2. that's about it. Actual Results: the final portion of the address (in this case "cgi") was selected instead of the entire address ("http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi") Expected Results: the entire address should have been highlighted. "modern" theme. that's about all i can think of.
There's a preference you can set to go back to the old behavior... (see unix.js in lxr.mozilla.org; search for "select" to find the right pref).
