Description of problem: When I click into the address bar, it gets emptied. Upstream says this has to do with gtk2/webkit combination. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): midori-0.5.9-1.fc20.x86_64 How reproducible: yes Steps to Reproduce: 1. $ midori http://google.de 2. click on the address bar 3. Actual results: URL font has italic style and gets removed from bar. Expected results: No italic font and persistent URL when clicked. Additional info: Upstream says taht the URL is wrongly detected as something to search or, or the like ... This issue should be fixed with Gtk3/Webkit2, this says upstream. Severity high cause it breaks some expected base functionality.
Yep. A work around is to hit ESC. That should get you the content back in the URL bar and you can then copy it.
