Give this a try. It works in every browser I've tried it in; Galeon,
Konq, Mozilla 0.9.8 and 1.0. I use Mandrake so I'm hoping this is a
Gecko related behavior and not Mandrake's doing.

Highlight this address http://slashdot.org  then go to your browser and
click the middle button (both buttons together if you have a two button
mouse) on the body of the page. Not on the address bar, but in the web
page display itself.

It removes the old address and places your highlighted text all in one
swell foop.

HTH,
