When customizing the toolbar, if one selects "text only", the location bar and google search fields are replaced with text which one must click to get a a dropdown pane. There's no way to view the fields but see text as a replacement for icons, as would be more efficient for the average user.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.View>Customize Toolbar
2.Select "Text only"


Actual Results:  
Location bar is replaced with the word "Location." The only way to browse is to click "location" and enter in a pane.

Expected Results:  
I would expect "Back" and "Forward" and other icon-based toolbar components to be textual, but have the text fields remain as text fields.

Most users who are interested in having the toolbar be text-only are power-users, so the keyboard shortcuts (Cmd-L and Cmd-Shift-F) are sufficient.  I propose WONTFIX.

This is how Cocoa toolbars work. Try it in Preview with the "Page Number" field in the toolbar.

No real harm done.
