Internal Links: 1172120

Description Raphael Groner 2014-12-13 15:04:58 UTC
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.

Thanks for this hint. Because of it, I think this is now a strange feature, so closing as WORKSFORME.
