21450 - Location box requires more than a double-click to hilite initially.

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 20192

(Core :: DOM: Selection, defect, P3)

Description

[WD]

Overview Description:

When first loading up Mozilla, if the Location box at the top is double-
clicked, the text (http://www.mozilla.org) is not selected.   A 2nd double-
click is required.

Steps to reproduce:
Load Up Mozilla
Double-click on the Location box

Actual results:
The cursor is moved from the beginning of the Location box to the end.  After a
subsequent double-click, the text is selected.

Expected results:
The entire text of the Location box is selected after the first double-click.

Build Date & Platform:
Mozilla build 1999121008
Windows 98, Windows 95

Additional information:
In actuality, the a double-click is not necessary the first time...  A single
click to get the Location box's focus, and then a following double click will
hilite the text.

The reason I find this unexpected is that with Netscape, you can double click on
the Location box to hilite it immediately after loading it, without having to
click on it before double-clicking to get the focus.     (boy, that's a
mouthful!!)

This is probably a duplicate of the general focus bug that's being dealt with,
but I'll defer to mjudge to be sure. Thanks!
