Description Manuel Gomez 2006-06-30 10:59:53 UTC
Please describe the problem:
When you open a new tab with <ctrl+t> the focus of the browser should be on the address bar, so you can start typing the address you want to visit immediately. Its true that with <ctrl+l> you can get the focus on the address bar, but I shouldn't have to press <ctrl+l>.

Steps to reproduce:
1. press <ctrl+t>
2. the focus is not in the address bar.
3. 


Actual results:
A new tab is created, and the focus is not in the address bar

Expected results:
A new tab should be created, and the focus SHOULD be in the address bar

Does this happen every time?
Yes.

Other information:
Most other browsers already implement this. So its a little annoying when I open a new tab and start writting, I  just lost everything I typed.

Hello Manuel,

This bug was corrected for some time now; could you tell which version of Epiphany do yo use, to ensure the bug is in a previous version ?

Thanks

Hi Baptiste,

I am using version 2.14.2.1, that version is the latest one on Ubuntu Dappe. I hope that helps. And thanks for answering so quickly.

I assume that you have a "home page", and that this "home page" opens in a new tab when you press Ctrl+t.

AFAIK, you have two options:
* Set your "home page" to blank
* Download and use the epiphany-blank-new-tab extension from http://patches.theflowerdays.com/extensions/

The first option doesn't seem satisfying to me.

In order to install the extension, you have to download epiphany-blank-new-tab.py and epiphany-blank-new-tab.xml from the URL provided above, and move/copy them to ~/.gnome2/epiphany/extensions/ :)
Comment 4 Reinout van Schouwen 2006-07-01 19:16:13 UTC
A third option: enter the new URL without first opening a new tab, then press Ctrl+Enter.

By the way, congratiulations with the 50th duplicate of bug 105153! :D
