60332 - arrow keys make the URL disappear

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 51637

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect, P3)

Description

[Shao Zhang]

This is not a really bug report, more a wishlist.
Produced using 2000111521 nightly under Linux.

When bring up a new broswer by middle click on the link, the default focus is
set to the location bar. But then if I press down arrow key to scroll the page
down, the url on the location bar disppears. The only way to get it back(as far
as I know) is to reload this page.

I think it should behave this way:
* the default focus should be set to the acutal document, not the location bar
* when the focus is on the location bar, press down arrow key should not do
anything.

This is a dupe of bad focus for open pages in new window.

Reporter: Please don't use N/A it interferes w/ the purpose of the url field.

this sounds like bug #51637 (except the other part about the location bar always
having focus which is another/separate bug).

Comment 3
