I was referring to left clicking the icon to select all the text in the 
location text box. If it doesn't work for anybody, that is a bug and 
should probably be reported at such (indicating that it leaves no quick 
mouse-bound method - AFAIK - to select all that doesn't also diddle the 
cut buffer - so it hopefully won't get marked as minor).
