Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 408723

(Firefox :: Toolbars and Customization, defect)

Description

[Gerhard]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.12) Gecko/20080207 Ubuntu/7.10 (gutsy) Firefox/2.0.0.12
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9b3) Gecko/2008020513 Firefox/3.0b3

While typing an URL into the location bar, a list of matching sites is shown. For example, I type "example.com", a drop down appears which lists "http://example.com/some/article/i/have/read" and some others more.

The problem is, when the pointer stays at the wrong place (inside the drop down) the pointed site is loaded after pressing enter. But I want to visit "http://example.com/" and not "http://example.com/some/article/i/have/read"

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. visit http://example.com/aaaa to http://example.com/zzzz to fill the history
2. move the pointer below the location bar
3. press ctrl+l 
4. type in example.com
5. press enter
Actual Results:  
A previous visited page, the one the pointer points to, is loaded.

Expected Results:  
http://example.com/ should be loaded
