Public bug reported: Description: Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS Release: 16.04 midori/xenial,now 0.5.11-ds1-2 i386 XFCE 4.12.0
maybe it's a 'current' limitation, not bug. but other browser normally doesn't have this. in terminal: > midori "file:///home/user/some dir/some/another/dir/afile.html" or > midori file:///home/user/some\ dir/some/another/dir/afile.html or > midori "file:///home/user/some\ dir/some/another/dir/afile.html" returns "[invalid UTF-8]" in midori tab > midori file:///home/user/some dir/some/another/dir/afile.html will go to page "http://dir/some/another/dir/afile.html"; which (of course) cannot be found. if in midori's address bar I put: file:///home/user/some dir/some/another/dir/afile.html or "file:///home/user/some dir/some/another/dir/afile.html" will do search for file:///home/user/some dir/some/another/dir/afile.html with the search engine, which of course it contains the user path. I don't know how dangerous it is... so, it can only work with: in terminal: > midori file:///home/user/some%20dir/some/another/dir/afile.html or > midori "file:///home/user/some%20dir/some/another/dir/afile.html" both in address bar only: file:///home/user/some%20dir/some/another/dir/afile.html if I used "file:///home/user/some%20dir/some/another/dir/afile.html" (with double quote) midori will ask what application to open the file (the html file. of course it's you, midori!) but the page loaded anyway. or if the page already loaded in another tab, it will close the current tab. in other browser, space character automatically converted to %20, and have no strange behaviour like this. ** Affects: midori (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1724676 Title: can't work with space in address bar and command To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/midori/+bug/1724676/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
