Description Lionel Dricot 2005-08-08 08:37:07 UTC 
1. Set google.com as your homepage
2. Open Epiphany.
3. As soon as you can, click in the adress bar and start writing an URL
4. When google will finish loading, the focus will go to the search field and so
half of your URL will be in this field.

It's really annoying. I suggest that once the user requested the focus on the
URL bar manually (clicking in it), this focus is never stealed automatically as
long as the user doesn't hit "enter" key.

Other information:
Maybe a not-so-fast computer with not-so-fast connection is needed to reproduce
this.
It happens every time on this Duron 800.
