A problem site

[Richard Gibson]

Here's an alternative experiment which may show the behavior he's talking about.

I first loaded, for example, (JUST an example :-) ):

http://www.thecomedylab.com/bushpalm/26.html

I think click my Favorites News/Slashdot.org shortcut link to see the slashdot page. I click the "back page" button on the upper left of the window, and it sure enough goes back to the more politically oriented page.  However, the "Page address" field does not update to show the current page.  Clicking refresh _does_ give me the previous, political page.

However, this behavior is really annoying when I want to add a particular page to the bookmark list.  If you drag the bolt symbol which seems to be linked to the Page address textfield, you do not get a bookmark to the currently displayed field, but rather to the URL displayed in the TextField.

Using the menu oriented Add to bookmarks... works as expected. But it's confusing, since it's not the displayed URL.
