Build 1999-04-27-13 WinNT, Win98 - open a file in a directory that has white space in one of the directory names for example: file:///H|/bugs/test space/bug3094.html where there is a space between "test" and "space" - double click on the location bar this should select all text in the location bar, but it only selects text up to the space.
Summary: double clicking in location bar doesn't select all text if there is whitespace → double clicking in location bar doesn't select all text if there is whitespace

Reassigning to buster, to make sure this is taken care in gfx widgets.

this won't be "taken care of" in gfx controls without support from code in the browser. This is behavior unique to the URL bar, changing the interpretation of double-click from "select word" to "select all." I will make sure that the browser team has all the notifications and APIs they need to make this happen, but they need to write the code to get the unique URL bar behavior. Reassigning to Rahda.

The browser now traslates all spaces to %20 there by giving no oppurtunity for this bug. So marking this invalid.
