Are you sure this is All/All? I tested on Linux GTK2+Xft and couldn't reproduce.
I can reproduce on PC/WinXP though.

Sorry, most of the time when I file a report I set it to All.
Hardware -> PC; OS -> Windows XP for now.
Is there a way to indicate that we need someone to check if they can duplicate
it on the Mac?


BTW, I think this bug also leads to another bug where if you select some text,
you won't get the text selection context menu, but the page menu instead.

Unlikely. Probably fixed since the location bar code autocomplete has been rewritten (q.v. awesomebar, places, etc)
