49057 - Unable to go to outside URL when on start page.

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Networking, defect, P3)

Description

I have my start page set to http://www.sca.org (using mozilla -url
"http://www.sca.org" as the command line), but any webpage should reproduce this
problem. The first thing to reproduce the bug is to start a new window with the
start page. Now attempt to change the URL in the box to a different server and
directory (like www.slashdot.org/faq/). If you hit it in fast enough, mozilla
should load the directory/file specified, but on the same server as the start
page is on, not the server specified. The solution is to hit the enter key in
the URL entry box (the refresh button does not seem to work) until the status
bar says it's contacting the correct server name.
