Can't Type in Safari's Address Bar?

[solo118]

Hey All

Just updated to Yosemite. I know its a lot to get used to, but for some reason I can't type in the address/search bar in Safari.

Anyone else have this issue or have some advice on how to fix this? I actually prefer using Safari over Chrome or whatever but I do not want to switch over for such a silly reason.

Thanks in advance!!

Restarted my computer a couple of times, and voila! Guess I am good to go now.

I have this strange issue too. When I click the address bar, the blue lining appears along its edge, but the words inside don't change from the current web pages title. Isn't it suppose to show my bookmarks too? I have no such luck.

I've had this bug since Yosemite came out, so I have turned my computer on and off mang times
