Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

Hello,

imagine that in konqueror you have several tabs open, and at least one of them is in the process of loading a webpage in the background.

Now, in the current tab, press F6 to have the location-bar selected, but do
not type anything. Just watch the selection :-)
When the other background tab(s) finishes loading, the selection is removed.

This should not be the case. The selection of the location-bar should persist whatever happens in the other tabs.
