49478 - Auto-complete doesn't automatically request the page once an entry is selected

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect, P3)

Description

[Stefan Vassall]

Build no: 2000081306 (Linux Mandrake)

The auto-complete drop-down menu from the address bar requires once an item is
selected you to still either click on go, or press return to actually visit the
site.

To Repeat:

1. Visit two sites say news.bbc.co.uk and news.gnome.org
2. Go to the address bar and type in news.
3. Pause for auto-complete to present the drop-down menu
4. Select one of the options using the mouse
5. Moz will not automatically start visiting the site

Although it sounds like it should be, this is not autofill.  Autofill is the 
wallet feature a.k.a. forms manager.

Not sure what component this is so assigning to browser-general.

On the other side, if you use the auto-complete to select a base to work further
from (say http://foo.com/bar/ is in the autocomplete dropdown and you want to go
to http://foo.com/bar/baz.html, or ..../page1.html  -> ..../page2.html), having
the selected page automatically load is going to be very annoying.
