Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.8.1.17) Gecko/20080829 Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Linux i686 (x86_64)) (Ubuntu-1.1.12+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.1)

It appears that a mouseover condition is occurring when the "Search Google for" item at the end of the drop down menu in the location bar is repositioned so that it is placed under the current cursor position.  This occurs even though the cursor did not move.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make the location bar active (e.g. click on it)
2. Place the cursor a few pixels under the location bar
3. Begin typing a URI that is in your browse history (so that it presents itself in the drop down menu)
4. Type additional characters so that the current URI does not match any in your browse history
5. Press the 'Enter' key
Actual Results:  
When the drop down list shrinks and the "Search Google for" item is repositioned so that it lands under the cursor's position it will be highlighted as if the mouse had moved over it.   When the user presses the 'Enter' key after entering the URI, Mozilla will search Google for the URI.

Expected Results:  
"Search Google for" should not be highlighted and Mozilla should browse to the URI entered.

Tested and reproduced on various 1.1.x versions of SeaMonkey in Linux, Windows, and FreeBSD.

Can you reproduce with SeaMonkey v2.0a1 ?

This is still an issue with Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:2.0b8pre) Gecko/20101205 Firefox/4.0b8pre SeaMonkey/2.1b2pre

STR:

1. Paste a complete url or enter a keyword with one char into the urlbar
2. Place the cursor at the position of the "Search Google for" text in the dropdown
3. Close the dropdown by pressing ESC and don't move the cursor
4. Repeat step 1 and press enter

Result: Google Search is invoked which is probably not the desired behavior.
