In the Windows version, if I click up into the address or search boxes, the existing contents are highlighted and if I begin typing, the existing text is deleted and what I'm typing becomes the contents. On the Linux version, under KDE, it doesn't. I have to click into the appropriate edit box, highlight the contents and start typing or hit either home/end and then start deleting before typing my new URL. If, for example, the existing text happens to be a google search string, this can be quite a bit of text to delete. So my question, I suppose, is multipart: 1) Is this by design? Is this the normal behaviour? 2) Have I set a USE flag wrong somewhere that causes this behaviour? 3) How do people get around the problem I mentioned above regarding long URL's, such as a Google search results? Any thoughts, greatly appreciated, Andrew
