As a feature request, I'm wondering if you can impliment it so that when the url
locaiton bar is selected, it is autmatically highlighted. This would allow
someone to easily type a new url, without the inconvencience of errasing the old
manually.

You mean that when the text in the location bar is selected,
then typing a letter should erase the highlighted text? It
already does this. At least on linux.
Assigning to Akkana and marking as an enhancement.
Well in windows in a previous build it wouldn't highlight the text. In the newer
builds it highlights it once the url bar is double-clicked. Should be a single
click highlight.

This would be a browser window bug (obviously you don't want this to happen for
every text field -- do you?)
But personally, I can't begin to tell you how much I hate the single-click
highlighting that Windows 4.x does -- I always have to click twice in the url
bar in order to edit a url. The Unix client doesn't do this, so I only have to
click once to set the caret wherever I clicked, like a normal text field does.
If we must do this, is there any chance we can put it on a pref?
