Nope. 1.2.12 still has the same problem. :-(

I really don't like the user interface for Galeon2 nearly as well as
I liked the old one, but I like both better than I like epiphany's. so
I guess it's time to move on to galeon2. Maybe the next release
will have a better UI. It's clear that the developers realize that
it's a problem.

Thanks, Joe.
