Description Anders Lund 2010-10-08 22:33:38 UTC

Version:           0.0.1 (using KDE 4.5.1) 
OS:                Linux

When switching to webkit, konqueror resists to stick with it. Some unfortunatte sites does not work with KHTML, so it is quite annoying that one can't trust the view/tab to stick with webkit when selected. An example is twitter. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
switch view to webkit
click a bit around, or enter a new address in the address bar, or drop an url on the tab

Actual Results:  
at some point, view switches to khtml

Expected Results:  
view sticks with webkit

OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.35-ARCH
Compiler: gcc

First the ability to switch to choose the default rendering engine of your choice easily has been added to Konqueror's configuration dialog for the 4.6 release:

The View/Mode menu option is only intended as a temporary means of switching to a different rendering engine, i.e. the current viewing. If you want to a permanent switch, you have to fiddle with the file associations dialog and change the default embded viewer associated with text/html to WebKit (kwebkitpart). Of course, it is this very process the above change is going to simplify in future releases...
