Bug ID: 398809
Summary: "unsafe characters" in the URL of a bookmark end up
encoded in the invoked URL
Product: krunner
Version: 5.13.5
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: bookmarks
Assignee: k...@privat.broulik.de
Reporter: kosse...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
Given Firefox with a bookmark for a URL which uses "unsafe" characters (term
found on quick search, not sure if correct one), e.g. "|".
When invoking the bookmark by krunner (via a match of the bookmark
description), the URL seems to be sent to Firefox completely encoded, i.e. also
those unsafe characters being encoded.
E.g. "index.php?object=tx|37" becomes "index.php?object=tx%257C37".
Which seems to fail with the web server which expects those "unsafe" characters
in the URLs and does not try to decode anything.
No public URL known sadly, to be an example here.
Looking at the bookmarks krunner code, it seems the raw URL string is taken
from the Firefox bookmark database and then fed into a QUrl (with
QUrl::TolerantMode) and then passed to QDesktopServices:
```
QUrl url = QUrl(term);
QDesktopServices::openUrl(url);
```

Had no chance yet to add some debug output/inspection to find where the (wrong)
encoding is actually applied.
