when I start Mozilla, I have to click _twice_ to URL edit-box (or wait for a
quite long time) to beeing able typing the wanted URL.  If I click on the
edit-box very early and start typing, nothing appeats and I have to click on the
edit-box again.

I've noticed something similar:

1) clear the urlbar
2) switch desktops and copy a url
3) switch back to mozilla and middle-click to paste
4) nothing happened, so middle-click again to repeat; this time it pasted.

Marking New. Looks like this regressed with hewitt's new urlbar stuff. CC'ing
him. I'm seeing this behaviour on Linux, using the Classic theme.

In 0.9.1, you can't edit the uRL using left and right arrows - the only way to
mdify a bit of the current URL is to select the relevant bit using the mouse and
replace it.  Backspace and delete work - but I'd expect left and right arrows to
work as well!

Bug 84932 includes a reliable procedure for reproducing this bug.
Also, is this really URL Bar? I think this may be a problem somewhere else. I'm
sure I've seen it somewhere on form objects, but unfortunately I can't remember
where.

changing os to linux as this appears to be the only platform where this is 
reproducible on.

Not being able to use left/right arrow keys or paste into the location bar, but
still being able to type into it, sounds like bug 83919.

[Pascal Chevrel:pascalc]

is it still a valid bug ?

[Robert Spalek]

this has been a totally old bug.  in all reasonably new versions, it works perfect.
