Package: konqueror Version: 4:3.5.5a.dfsg.1-6etch2 Severity: normal When you open a page whose URL contains characters that must be urlencoded, Konqueror will let you enter the URL properly encoded (with % escapes, etc.) and visit the page correctly.
However, it will decode the URL and display the decoded URL in the address bar (e.g. + will be changed to space, %2B will be changed to +, etc.) This often causes the "URL" in the address bar to not actually be a valid URL. For example, if you select the address bar and press return, you will receive an error, or at the very least not go to the same page whose URL you originally entered. The decoded URL is also saved in the history, so that you can, for example, use the up and down arrow keys in the address bar to select a previously visited page, and not go there, because the URL that has been saved with it is not the right URL, but the urldecoded version of it. This behavior annoys me. I can see the point of wanting to display the address in decoded form for some users in some situations (e.g. when using Konqueror as a file manager - which I never do, by the way). However, I would, at the very least, want to be able to turn off this functionality, so that the URLs I enter will not be mangled. Steps to reproduce: - Visit any website with an URL that contains characters that need escaping. For example: http://slashdot.org/~RAMMS%2BEIN/ - Konqueror will correctly open the page, but mangle the URL. E.g. http://slashdot.org/~RAMMS+EIN/ - If you try to open the same page again, e.g. by selecting the address bar and pressing return, or by selecting the address bar, you will not go to the same page you originally visited. - If you visit another page, then select the address bar and use the up arrow to navigate back to the original page, then press return to select it, you will get the mangled URL and you will not visit the page whose URL you originally entered. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-4-686 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages konqueror depends on: ii kcontrol 4:3.5.5a.dfsg.1-6etch2 control center for KDE ii kdebase-kio-plugi 4:3.5.5a.dfsg.1-6etch2 core I/O slaves for KDE ii kdelibs4c2a 4:3.5.5a.dfsg.1-8etch1 core libraries and binaries for al ii kdesktop 4:3.5.5a.dfsg.1-6etch2 miscellaneous binaries and files f ii kfind 4:3.5.5a.dfsg.1-6etch2 file-find utility for KDE ii libacl1 2.2.41-1 Access control list shared library ii libart-2.0-2 2.3.17-1 Library of functions for 2D graphi ii libattr1 2.4.32-1 Extended attribute shared library ii libaudio2 1.8-4 The Network Audio System (NAS).
