200764 - tab now defaults to homepage and kills typahead

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 197610

(SeaMonkey :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

[Greg Lindahl]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4a) Gecko/20030401

Typing Control-T now opens a tab with my homepage, and typehead is not recognized.

Tabs up to 1.3.1 used to open with a blank window and so that I could
immediately start typing. So, for example, I would cut a url, switch to my
Mozilla window, and type C-T C-V (paste) and hit return, and I was there. Now
this no longer works.

It's a definite regression in usability.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Type control-T
2. Start typing
3.

Actual Results:  
The stuff I type doesn't get entered as a URL

Expected Results:  
The stuff I type should be entered as a URL
