        Why wait for the next stable update, when you can roll out the fix before aggravating even more users and THEN work on "important" updates.

          Because there are other ways to open a new tab, so there's no need to rush the release just to fix that problem.

            I understand why it isn't considered an urgent priority, however, I also want to register the fact that because I am so used to this behaviour, I keep typing my searches into the void and it is driving me up the wall.

                  Glad I found this thread.
                  I was starting to think I'd been gaslighting myself here.

                  The auto-select of the address bar is so ingrown a functionality for me that its absense causes me slight confusion and annoyance about thirty times a day.
