513184 - Ctrl+T in fullscreen mode has the new tab's locationbar not enabled (greyed out)

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 494373

(Firefox :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

[Jan Karjalainen]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.1.2) Gecko/20090729 Firefox/3.5.2
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.1.2) Gecko/20090729 Firefox/3.5.2

When in fullscreen mode (F11), and pressing Ctrl+T for a new tab, the new tab's locationbar (visible by pressing F6 och moving the mouse up towards the top of the screen) is not enabled for typing in addresses or tags.
The locationbar has a greyed out text message "Search Bookmarks and History".
Typing anything in the locationbar renders the text greyed out, and it doesn't respond to the enter key, neither does it look up any bookmarks.
Pressing F6 a total of four times, or clicking the down arrow and selecting a bookmark, makes the locationbar function properly.




Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Activate fullscreen mode (F11)
2. Open a new tab with a keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+T)
3. Bring down the interface with the locationbar in it (F6)
4. Activate the locationbar for input (F6)

Status: The locationbar is not functioning properly, doesn't respond to input, text is greyed out.

5. Press F6 a third time.
6. Press F6 a fourth time.

Status: Locationbar resumes normal operation.



Expected Results:  
The locationbar should be enabled for input and functioning after pressing F6 twice.
This is how it works with tabs that are already opened in fullscreen mode.

This behavior is observed in Mozilla Firefox running on AIX platform as well
