Beta 34 - Can't edit URL in the location bar under certain circumstances

Attempting to edit the URL being entered in the 1Browser location bar sometimes causes the bar to revert all changes. Steps to reproduce:

1) Tap the location bar with no tabs loaded

2) Start typing a URL

3) Use your big clumsy fingers to make a typo

4) Attempt to use standard iOS text selection (tap and hold) to move the cursor back and fix it

5) The URL you're typing disappears and the bar is once again empty


It can also be reproduced when a tab is loaded:

1) Load a website in a tab

2) Tap the location bar

3) Clear it and attempt to type a new URL

4) Notice yet another typo because you suck at typing (or blame the keyboard!)

5) Attempt to go back and fix it

6) The changes you made are reverted and the currently-loaded website appears in the location bar again


Now, there is one circumstance in which the location bar behaves as expected.

1) Load a website in a tab

2) Tap the location bar and attempt to edit the existing URL

3) Everything goes smoothly!

    That's awesome, Mike, thanks very much (your report, not the bug). I documented this in our issue tracker so we can get it fixed.
