Because the fix came in after 1.0 was released.  People using 1.0  
have the old one-click-to-select-everything behavior.  People using  
nightlies have the corrected behavior.

Tabbing into fields selects all the text throughout the OS.  Clicking  
once inserts the cursor throughout the OS.  They have distinct  
standard behaviors.

Since the control in Camino is made to emulate (and will eventually  
be replaced by) the native search control, and that control has one- 
click-to-insert-cursor as a standard behavior, how is it a special case?
