Version: 4.6.0 (using KDE 4.6.1) OS: Linux When you enter an URL into the location bar, press enter and Konqueror decides that the URL needs to be loaded by a different application, the location bar is emptied. Especially annoying when you construct long and complex URLs by hand. Filed as Major as it actually causes data loss, however minor. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: * open Konqueror * type URL into location bar, for example to a zip file * press enter * Konqueror offers to open the file with ark * Konqueror clears the location bar, deleting its contents OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.37-trunk-686 Compiler: gcc

Not really. What actually happens is the location bar is restored to the previous URL it was displaying. There is a very valid reason why that is done. If a user types in a URL that cannot be handled by Konqueror, then the location bar must be restored to the URL of the content currently displayed. Otherwise, the content's URL and the location bar URL will get out of sync (mismatch). Having said that, the problem you are reporting here seems to stem from the fact that Konqueror does not take care not to restore the prior location bar URL even when the location bar was previously empty( the default state when a new tab is created). If that is the case, then it is something that can be addressed easily. Otherwise, it is a WONT FIX for reason stated in the first paragraph.
