From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.2.12-20 i686; en-US; m14) Gecko/20000415 BuildID: 2000041508 After switching to different open windows, or attempting to click in the url area while a page is loading, the url becomes uneditable and unclickable. The black arrow remains when the mouse pointer is moved above the text field, instead of becoming an I bar. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. go to google.com 2. click on the 'about google' link 3. click on the url area Actual Results: the url area is no longer editable Expected Results: the url should become editable this was the most reproducible using the above method, but changing web browser windows appeared to have a similar, though less reliable effect. It can be worked around by spawning a new window which will then have an editable url...
Build 2000041515, Win95B. I went to http://google.com, then clicked on the About link. I clicked on the URL bar to edit the line, and it works for me.
fstmm@yahoo.com: What is your homepage? Does it consists of frames? Does the bug still occur if you set your homepage to www.mozilla.org, or start mozilla this way: mozilla http://www.mozilla.org/ See bug 32120 and bug 31485 for known problems where the location bar becomes unclickable. (The is the case if the homepage consists of frames or has an <input type=password> form element in it.) By the way, these known bugs seem to be linux only.

Using google.com as homepage, I could reproduce the problem with the method described in bug 31485, using builds 2000-04-18-16-M16 and 2000-04-18-11-M15. (The M16 build does not show any Gdk-CRITICAL messages, but the problem with the unaccessible location field is the same.) This simplified testcase is: <html> <head> <title>Bug 31485 (google.com)</title> <script> function setFocus() { document.f.q.focus(); } </script> </head> <body onLoad="setFocus()"> <form name=f> <input name=q> </form> </body> </html> Marking duplicate. I'm going to add the relevant information to the other bug soon. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 31485 ***
