From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:0.9.5) Gecko/20011011 BuildID: 2001101117 When you are typing in the navigation bar (the text box with the URL of the page) while Mozilla is loading a new page, it will change the value while typing. This is common to Netscape 4.x and Internet Explorer, but IMO is the wrong thing to do. If a user control has the focus (i.e. keyboard events are going to the control), then it should in no wise be changed by the browser. For instance, it takes a little bit of time for my home page to come up, but sometimes I want to go directly to a different page (to check out some documentataion or a URL I was given). The timing is such that by the time I am half way typing the URL, the browser finishes loading the home page and changes the text I am CURRENTLY writing. It is very frustrating. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Startup the browser 2. While the home page is loading, type in a URL in the GOTO bar 3. If the home page finishes loading before you finish typing, your URL is overwritten. Actual Results: Mozilla overwrites the URL I am trying to type, and the result is usually have the URL of the current page and half the URL I am typing. Expected Results: Mozilla should respect the fact that the GOTO bar has the focus, and not overwrite the URL when someone is typing in it.
