9973 - If URL entered while page is loading, it is deleted upon load

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: UI Design, defect, P1)

Description

[cpratt]

Build ID: 1999071417
Platform: Windows 98 (will test Mac OS and Linux later)

To reproduce:
- Using a slow (modem) link, launch apprunner
- Type 'http://www.yahoo.com' into the Location: control; press Enter
- While Yahoo! is loading, click into the Location: control and type
'http://www.mozilla.org'; do not press Enter

Result: When Yahoo! finishes loading, the Location: control is updated with
'http://www.yahoo.com', overwriting the 'http://www.mozilla.org' you just
entered manually

Expected result: The Location: control's contents should not be changed.

This is really more of a timing issue with the browser chrome. Seems like what
should be happening is that we need to make sure that the URL bar's key handler
should top the current load, and re-start the load to the newly specified URL.
Reassigning to don to parcel out as appropriate.

Url is no more updated when page finishes loading. That  takes care of this
problem. Marking Fixed.
