Getting rid of it, as has been done on HEAD, certainly addresses my
concern about the appearance of the combobox on the flat toolbars. :-)
Though, that's still a problem for other apps.

I'm only aware of one use for the arrow button: finding a recently-typed,
but forgotten URL. This is probably something done occasionaly by few.
A "typed in" group in the history view would afford this and its absence
from the main window would befit its rare use. "Typed In" is surely a
poor name for the group. The name should indicate that the URLs weren't
just partially typed then automatically completed. The most common reason
to type in a complete URL is probably that it was seen outside of the
computer - e.g., on TV, a billboard, or a business card - the name might
indicate that.

I notice the history doesn't have many sorting options. Are there plans
to change that?

Cheers,
Greg
