When I begin typing into the URL bar, the first character or two I type are lost as it becomes "awesome".  This is not awesome behavior, though.
It appears that what's actually happening here is this:  when the url-bar becomes awesome, it re-highlights all text, which means that if I've already typed something, it gets highlighted again.  As I continue to type, the highlighted selection is replaced by my typing, which means I lose the previous few characters.
Sounds like things are happening too slowly. The click-selectall behavior should be happening on mousedown
It does, but then it happens again after the URL bar has finished loading (I think).

This does -not- solve the whole problem, but it does make it (I think) much less likely that the user will begin typing, thinking they've got a clean slate, and then accidentally lose their work to getting ANOTHER clean-slate.  Needs testing on MaeMo.

Why does that help? We do want the clickselectsall="true" behavior...

clickSelectsAll off and selectAll in the newly created popup

This was a stopgap solution before we had a caching plan. Now that we have a caching plan, we should do it and not this.

The original bug is this bug 515720 ? If so, I'll go ahead and dupe it. If not, please find the bug because it's not listed with anything related to the awesome bar from the query I made.
Dupe away!
dar she dupes!
