231430 - current URL in address bar not replaced after dragging new link into it

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 176675

(Firefox :: Toolbars and Customization, defect)

Description

[Shanan]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7a) Gecko/20040115 Firebird/0.8.0+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7a) Gecko/20040115 Firebird/0.8.0+

With a webpage already loaded (anything containing a link within it), dragging
any link from that webpage into the address bar does not replace the URL
currently occupying the address bar. Rather it adds the new URL to the existing
one. The location that the new URL is added is dependant upon the mouse's
position when releasing the left mouse button. For example, if the current
webpage loaded was http://www.mozilla.org and I wanted to drag the Mozilla
Firebird 0.7 link (http://www.mozilla.org/products/firebird/) into the address
bar. When I released my left mouse button, the cursor was between the m & the o
of mozilla the resulting URL shown in the address bar would be:
http://www.mhttp://www.mozilla.org/products/firebird/ozilla.org instead of just
being http://www.mozilla.org/products/firebird/

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.drag any link found on a webpage into the address bar
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
the URL of the link being dragged into the address bar is inserted into the
current URL, the point that the URL is inserted is dependant upon the mouse
cursor's location when releasing the left mouse button.

Expected Results:  
The URL from the dragged link should have replaced the old URL completly,
instead of inserting itself like it currently does.

Is this a regression (i.e. did it do what you expected before)? Or are you
suggesting a change in behaviour?

If if did work before, what's the last build in which it worked for you?
