243766 - with 2+ tabs, url entered manually won't load

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Kevin Hunter]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7b) Gecko/20040421
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7b) Gecko/20040421

When I have more than one tab open and I try to manually type in a url in the
address bar (and subsequently strike the enter key) Mozilla won't request a page
from the url.  The modem lights don't even blink.

I have Tabbrowser Extensions installed.  I have not tried this without
Tabbrowser extensions.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open up more than 1 tab.
2. Enter a URL.
3. Watch as nothing happens.

Actual Results:  
It was if I hadn't yet hit the enter key.  The funny thing is, I could enter the
url, and click on the Search button to the right, and Google would give me a
link to the url that I wanted to visit.  I could then click on the link.

Expected Results:  
After entering the URL, and striking the enter key, Mozilla should have started
trying to request the page from the suggested URL.

This didn't crash Mozilla, so I have no Talkback crash ID.  I was using the
Classic theme.  I don't know if you need the build configuration, but here you go.

about:buildconfig yields . . . well, nothing because it behaves as if I haven't
touched the enter key.

Please do try without them... they have a number of bugs in them that crop up
every so often.  :(

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
