Bug?: Down-arrow causes Address Field to go blank

If the Address Field holds a short URL (i.e., completely shown the
Address Field), the up-arrow and down-arrow keys move the cursor to the
beginning or end of the URL.
If the URL extends beyond the end of the Address Field, the down-arrow
key behaves strangely -- the URL shifts to the left so that the rightmost
character is shown. A fraction of a second later, the URL disappears,
leaving a blank Address Field with the cursor flashing at the end of the
field.
At that point, hitting the Delete key momentarily displays the URL (with
the last character removed), and the Field goes blank again.
The same thing happens if I type a character. The URL appears
momentarily (with the new character), and then the Field goes blank again.
I saw this behavior on earlier releases, and it's still happening on
OmniWeb 4.1SP11.
Explorer 5.1.3 does not have the field blank behavior (although
down-arrows does shift the URL further to the left than necessary,
leaving a blank space at the end).
