Seen on Ubuntu 11. There's a difference to previous behaviour. Selecting the URL bar with the keyboard (ctrl+L) allows the user to navigate around that bar stopping at punctuation (ctrl+left, ctrl+right). But a double mouse- click highlights the whole URL rather than words with in.
Triple-click-to-highlight must be annoying the hell out of someone for them to change it back after this time. Double-click being a unix standard remains a weak argument. Chrome for linux uses double-click to highlight word, triple-click to highlight all. i.e. the same behaviour as in firefox on osx and win32. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/50254 Title: Ctrl-Backspace should stop_at_punctuation Status in The Mozilla Firefox Browser: Fix Released Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: Binary package hint: mozilla-firefox In a typical GTK widget with a URL, pressing Ctrl-Backspace will erase up to the previous "/". This does not operate as expected in Firefox. Pressing Ctrl-Backspace in the URL field erases the entire URL. To fix this, layout.word_select.stop_at_punctuation should be set to true in the default configuration. Firefox is then consistent with the rest of the desktop.
