89588 - Now takes 3 clicks to get into the location bar

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Neil Marshall]

Recently there was a change made to the location bar in which it selects all the
text. (2001070404)

It now, like all the other browsers, takes 3 clicks to get where I want the
cursor to be in the location bar.

I'm on windows and my double click speed is at the default.  It treats the first
2 clicks as a double click and finally the third as a single click.  It's the
last single click which places the cursor where I want it.  If I click really
slowly, it only takes 2, but it's a pain in the ass.

The change in question was bug 37587 being fixed.  The behavior can be reverted
to the old one by setting:

user_pref("browser.urlbar.clickSelectsAll", false);

in your preferences.  You may also want to set

user_pref("browser.urlbar.focusSelectsAll", false);

since the pref name may change in the near future.

Resolving wontfix, since the behavior in question is the behavior we're supposed
to have.
