Public bug reported: Binary package hint: firefox-3.0
In its address bar firefox replaces "%20" with " " which is supposed to increase readability. However, when I copy and paste an url from the address bar, the spaces are not replaces with "%20" again making the pasted url useless. People in #firefox on irc.mozilla.com say their version does in fact put %20 back when copying & pasting the url. i.e.: opening "http://example.com/url%20with%20space.html"; will show as "http://example.com/url with space.html" and copying and pasting the latter will yield "http://example.com/url with space.html" instead of the expected "http://example.com/url%20with%20space.html";. What I want it one of two things: either make FF3 stop replacing %20 with " " as I can easily parse %20 et al in head or make it modify the copied text (or modify the text before copying) so that the clipboard contains a valid and usable url. This is FF3 version Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008061015 Firefox/3.0 from the hardy package. I don't use ctrl+c to copy, I just mark the text and paste via middlemouse. ** Affects: firefox-3.0 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- urls copied from adress bar in firefox-3.0 missing %20 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/245521 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
