Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 258107

(SeaMonkey :: Location Bar, defect)

This was mentioned as part of bug number 177360 but was never resolved (the rest
of the bug was). Whenever an URI is selected (and thus opened in the browser
window) it should be moved to the top of the list just as if it was typed into
the Location Bar. This will keep the the most recently visted sites at the top
of the list where they can be easily accessed again.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select a URL from the bottom of the Location Bar history.
2. Check the location bar history.
3.

Actual Results:  
The URI is still at the bottom of the Location Bar history

Expected Results:  
Moved the URI to the top

At the moment we don't automatically move anything to the top -- each URI is
marked with the number of times it was accessed and we sort in terms of that...
I know for a fact that we do adjust the relative order of entries based on
selections from the drowdown (since some of my entries switched places yesterday
because of that).
