209713 - autocomplete does not update location bar when "automatically add www" is on, but page loads

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 236608

(SeaMonkey :: Location Bar, defect)

Description

[Joseph Delaney]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.5a) Gecko/20030616

When you have the "Automatically add www. and .com" option turned on in the
"Smart Browsing" preferences and type a single word, the correct web site will
load but the location bar will only show the single word, instead of filling in
the full URL. This is a regression, it did work in the last build I used (about
2 weeks old). 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Turn on the "automatically add www" option under "Smart Browsing"
2. Click on the URL bar, and type "apple" or "cnn" or "netscape" alone without
any "http://" or "www" or ".com", then hit the enter key.
3. Watch the page load, and look at the location bar.

Actual Results:  
The page loads properly, but the location bar does not update with the
autocompleted url.

Expected Results:  
Update the location bar with the fully qualified URL, showing the actual
location of the page.

I'm seeing this in 1.4rc2 too.

And  now it's in Netscape 7.1 and Mozilla 1.5a...

I'm changing the hardware and OS to "All" because this also happens on Windows
systems.

I'm also changing the severity to "Major" based on the severity of another bug
(the slightly inaccurate URL appearing in the status bar) having been a blocker
for some 1.7 builds. This is more severe, since it obscures the URL of the
current web page. For an example, try typing "slashdot" and hit enter.
