GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 140513
Location bar not focused when new blank tab is opened
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
When a user opens a new blank tab, it would usually be to type a URL into the location bar and have it open in that tab. In Galeon 1.2.x when a new tab is opened the text focus is on the location bar. In 1.3.x the focus is elsewhere, and the user must make the extra step of clicking on the location bar before typing. Please have the location bar focused by default when a new blank tab is opened.
This is an old mozilla bug.... *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 72125 ***
