If ther URL Bar is empty, don't show the "go" icon. Go where? Nowhere? This doesn't make sense.

Should perhaps show Search.

It does already show the search icon on the left side of the entry. I don't think it would make sense to show two of the same icon on either side :p

So what would be correct behaviour exacltly. This bug talks about not showing "go" button when there is no text. The other one https://bugs.launchpad.net/midori/+bug/699963 talks about not showing "go" button when page is loaded.

This way go button would be show when typing url and before page is loaded/submitted, right? Does it really make things more consistent?

Maybe hide go icon altogether. Should be noted that "go" button is also used with empty location entry to toggle "paste and go" from clipboard.

I wouldn't say consistent is the word. But it doesn't make sense to show buttons that either have no action or that have an icon that doesn't properly reflect their action.

Maybe in the case of the blank field then, it should show the paste icon?

The 'Go to' now only shows when the entry is focussed.
