I liked the old behaviour better.
Hi, Looks like there are some different views on this matter upstream.... For example, bug 331641 is about exactly the opposite, making sure the location field always match the displayed page. Bug 313012 (resolved now, maybe you can ask for reopen) is what you ask for, new tabs should have a blank location field. Epiphany developers, OTOH, suggests a way to clear the location field without affecting the clipboard in bug 118395. http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=331641 http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=313012 http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=118395 I guess you can take your pick and mark the bug as forwarded to the one best matching your needs :-) (And as a work around, you can of course simply set the home page to blank) -- Cheers, Sven Arvidsson http://www.whiz.se PGP Key ID 760BDD22
