One of my pet peves.. is if I am loading a page.. then suddenly decide to type in a different URL.. the bar will suddenly delete it all if the page completes loading.

I wish I knew that I was working in that area.. and didn’t clear it unless I clicked off of it.

Could this be due to bug 317056? Or because of the timing with which Firefox adds “http://” to the address bar after a URL is typed?
