Description Vincent Untz 2006-02-18 07:48:47 UTC 
I was testing GNOME 2.13.91. When starting epiphany on a fresh account, it opens Google as homepage. However, there's nothing in the address bar, while it would make sense to show the google URL.

Thinking about it, it might be a feature (to invite the user to type an url). Not sure :-)
Comment 1 Crispin Flowerday (not receiving bugmail) 2006-02-18 10:07:05 UTC 
I believe it is a feature - so that people can easily type in a url, although chpe will be able to confirm.
Comment 2 Reinout van Schouwen 2006-02-19 17:39:10 UTC 
I agree that we should try to make a 1:1 match of displayed page and address in the address bar when it's possible.
Comment 3 Christian Persch 2006-02-19 18:43:19 UTC 
Bug 313012 requested the opposite thing...
Comment 4 Reinout van Schouwen 2006-02-19 21:19:32 UTC 
Bug 313012 is asking to fight the symptom instead of the cause, because the actual problem is that the X selection is overwritten when you press Ctrl+L. But for that problem, bug 118395 is still open. I believe the right solution is to make Shift+Ctrl+L focus and clear the address bar without affecting the X selection.
Comment 5 Dan Winship 2009-06-05 15:13:26 UTC 
the behavior with the initial window should be synchronized with the behavior for new windows/tabs: currently the initial window shows the homepage with no URL, but new windows or new tabs show the homepage WITH the URL

Is this still relevant with the webkit version?
