Try to middle click on a link whose uri is really long (like the one in the url
above). If it's long enough, you may get an error 414 Request-URI Too Large.

The problem is that now the location bar is really messed up! It looks like two
rows of characters are printed one on top of the other.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/showdependencytree.cgi?id=104166
2. Middle-click on the link "View as bug list"
Actual Results:  
The location bar of the newly opened tab is messed up.

The same happens also if I left-click directly on the link.

I see an empty location bar in 1.0.6, 1.6a1 and 1.0+.

I can reproduce the same behaviour with Mozilla 1.7.10.

Adding this to the metabug for messed up display of long strings, bug 302294. 
Might be a dup of bug 257660.

I see this with gtk2 builds but not gtk1
