User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.0; rv:2.0b7pre) Gecko/20100923 Firefox/4.0b7pre

If your location box is present but not visible "CTRL+L", or "ALT+F, L", or (if the menu bar is visible) File->Open Location will not bring up a location entry box. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Customize toolbars
2. Remove location box, click Done
3. Hit CTRL+L. An Open Location window appears
4. Customize toolbars
5. Re-add location box, click Done.
6. Hide the toolbar on which the location box sits.
7. Hit CTRL+L or ALT+F then L, or chose File->Open Location
Actual Results:  
No Open Location window appears. The location bar is in focus and works, but the user cannot see what he is typing.

Expected Results:  
The Open Location window should appear, or the hidden toolbar should be temporarily shown (as the menu bar is if it's hidden and you hit a menu accelerator key).

is this a regression from 3.6?

The location bar cannot be moved to other toolbars anymore.
