Details

When dragging selected text to a form box or the address bar, the cursor is currently not dropped along with the text. This would be very useful, such that you can drop the text and then just hit enter to run the query when dropping text into a search form, or to choose to Go when dropping an URL into the address bar. Steps to reproduce 1. Select text 2. drag and drop it to a form or to the address bar Actual results The cursor is not dropped with the text Expected results The cursor is dropped along with the text, to allow easy execution of search, if a query form, or Go, if in the address bar.
Severity: minor → enhancement
Summary: Cursor should be dropped along with drag and drop of selected text to form or to address bar → Dragging text to the address bar should focus the address bar
Jesse, I was more concerned about the forms than the address box. I don't think that that would be an enhancement. If we need to have separate bug reports for each, I can make one for the text boxes (forms) and keep this one for the address bar, like you retitled it.
Summary: Dragging text to the address bar should focus the address bar → Dragging into a textbox should focus the textbox
When you drag text into the location bar it does not focus the text box so you have to click in the text box before you can click the green go button.
