98919 - Ctrl-L when location bar invisible is worthless

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 81331

(SeaMonkey :: UI Design, defect)

Description

[Michael T. Babcock]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.3) Gecko/20010801
BuildID:    2001080104

If the location bar is hidden (by clicking the arrow next to it, for example),
hitting Ctrl-L to change locations is pointless (although still available)
because it focusses the location bar at the top of the page.  This is fine for
when that bar is visible (and a great improvement over always popping up a
dialog), but the dialog is needed if that bar is not visible.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1) Hide location bar with arrow on left of default chrome.
2) Hit Ctrl-L to change locations
3) Feel free to type something ;-)

Actual Results:  It works, but you can't see what you're typing.

Expected Results:  A pop-up window would be nice ...
