Status: Unconfirmed Owner: ---- Labels: OS-Mac Area-Misc Pri-2 Type-Bug New issue 16707 by albert.attia: [MAC] Contents are not being selected when clicking on OMNIBAR http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=16707
Chrome Version : 3.0.192.0 URLs (if applicable) : OS version : 10.5.7 Behavior in Safari 3.x/4.x (if applicable): Behavior in Firefox 3.x (if applicable): Firefox on MAC automatically selects contents of location bar when you click once. Behavior in Chrome for Windows: Chrome on windows automatically selects the contents of the omnibar when clicked once. What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Open Chromium 2. Click once on Omnibar 3. Contents do not get selected What is the expected result? Content of the OMNIBAR should be selected when single clicking on the OMNIBAR. What happens instead? Contents do not get selected. -------------------------------------------------- The default behavior on Firefox on a MAC is to automatically select all contents, Chromium should follow platform consistency and behave the same way as Firefox does. Chromium should also follow consistency with other platforms, Chromium for Windows selects all contents of the OMNIBAR when clicked, Chromium for MAC should behave the same way as its Windows counterpart. The argument that says Chromium on the MAC should follow Safari on the MAC is incorrect, since Chromium on Windows does not follow Safari on Windows, Safari on Windows does not select the contents of the location bar when clicked. 8 out of 10 times, when a person is clicking on the OMNIBAR is to replace the entire contents of it with a new search term of URL. It really benefits workflow to select all text so that when you start typing it replaces the old URL. Otherwise once must triple click to select the entire contents to be replaced, having to tripe click really affects workflow. If this is the correct design choice for Chromium on windows, it should definitely be the correct design choice Chromium for MAC. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
