This might be a drawing problem.  I saw it once without even hitting Enter.

With DeerPark Alpha2 (win XP Pro), I now get totally blank address bars and
cannot enter URLs!

--> in the 20050830 version, i had this case also when i was clicking on a link
in a mail for example ...

In this 20050831, the adress exist, but there is no history and no back button !!!

in fact, i can explain with more details now ... 
So, in the branch build Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US;
rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050831 do this:

Open mozilla --> the home page is displayed, but there is no adress in the
adress bar ... click on a link --> no adress in adress bar and no back button
--> click on a other link --> no adress in adress bar and no back button

Open a new tab and type an adress --> on this tab, click a link which will open
in the same tab (not a _blank link) --> for this tab, the back button exist now
and the adress is displayed

Return to the first tab: now the adress is there and the back button is enabled,
with the full history available


Other scenario, maybe more reproducible: From your mailer:
Click on a link --> the site will open in the first tab --> click on 2 links on
this site: no adress in adress bar, no back button

As i've configured firefox to open links from external application in a new tab
on the most recent windows, i click on the same link in my mail --> second tab,
this time with the adress displayed ... i click on one or two links --> there is
a back button enabled ... if i go back to the first tab, now the adress is
displayed and back button enabled ...


So, yes, this is a maybe a drawing problem

Simpler test case:

open firefox: you have your home page without the link in adress bar ... click
on several links --> no back button

--> simply open a new tab with ctrl-T
--> go to the tab and return to the first tab
--> now, there is a back button enabled and an adress in adress bar

I can not reproduce this on Mac Deer Park Branch build from 0902. The address
rendering works fine.

WFM, Deer Park 8/31/05. This could be some sort of painting race condition, but
I'm closing this bug since we don't have evidence of that and it is unlikely
we're going to get anywhere with this bug any time soon. Perhaps someone could
post better repro instructions?

ok ... I've found the problem:
I've updated to the latest branch --> same problem ... so as i was alone, i've
check extension ...

This one was the guilty: http://yergler.net/projects/mozcc/
MozCC version 1.1.0

When i disabled it, it works fine ...

I had the same problem, but I don't use MozCC.  However, I disabled Web
Developer, and the problem disappeared.

So WFM, and removing my vote.
