Why does cmd+l sometimes not work?

[Mildredop]

I use cmd+l in Chrome or Safari all the time to highlight the address bar and input an address.

But sometimes it simply refuses to work. For no obvious reason. And it's done it for years on all the OS X versions - I reported it as a bug around 5yrs ago.

Why don't Apple sort out these frustrating little bugs?

It's worked every time for me with Safari, never come across that bug.
