I think I have managed to work out how to reproduce it:

1) Load a page
2) Open the print dialogue, and print the page to a file (or indeed a
printer, but let's save the planet here)
3) Start typing in the location entry, and try selecting from the
drop-down.

Does this provoke the bug for everyone else ?
