With the Locator bar autocomplete box checked, I'm seeing strange behavior when 
typing in a URL. First, if I just type a URL like www.netscape.com, (which had 
been visited before), there is no autocompletion, and even after I've typed the 
full URL (even adding the http:// prefix, the locator icon in the left of this 
field appears disabled, and pressing Enter does not cause the requested page to 
be loaded.

This unexpected behavior seems somewhat sporatic. Sometimes it works, sometimes 
not. If it appears disabled, clicking Reload seems to give it  a kick and it 
seems to work normally again. It really seems pretty flakey.

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1.In the locator bar, begin typing a URL that has been visited before
2.It may or may not autocomplete
3.Type in complete URL and press Enter

Actual Results:  If the icon in the locator bar field appears disabled, pressing 
Enter with the complete URL does nothing.
The autocomplete feature may not work at all.

Expected Results:  Autocomplete should match the previously entered URL. 
Hopefully, it will match even if the http:// prefix is not typed. Other 
properties of the locator bar should work correctly.

I have autocomplete checked, and show list of matching results checked.

This issue has been reported as a side effect of bug 98838, which is already fixed. 
Reporter, can you please try this again with a newer build to see if it was the
same problem?
Thank you.
Glad to report that my bug seems to be fixed in the 9/10 nightly. Thanks.
