Details

Whenever I open a URL in a new window using the middle mouse button, the location entry in the navigation toolbar receives keyboard focus. If I then hit the down arrow key (or the up, but not left/right), the text disappears from the entry. This does not occur if I open the window in any other way, or if I enter the location manually or from a bookmark. This has happened on all recent nightly builds for the last week, including the current latest (build id: 2000111708). I'm using the mozilla-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.gz tarball on a redhat-6.2 box with helix gnome, running kernel 2.2.16. This is especially annoying since my first instict upon opening a new page is to scroll down with the keyboard ;)
claudius, this is a dup methinks...
