Description Luke-Jr 2016-04-20 19:28:38 UTC
Drag & drop of links from Chromium seems to get corrupted at some point.

Also tested:
- Drag and drop Chromium links to other Qt5 application (pcmanfm-qt): works fine
- Drag and drop directory from pcmanfm-qt: works as expected (error that it's not a torrent file, with the full correct path name)
- Drag and drop Chromium links to other KF5 application (Konversation): works fine

It seems only the specific combination of Chromium to KTorrent fails.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open http://www.kubuntu.org/getkubuntu/ in Chromium.
2. Drag "14.04 image, 64bit" BitTorrent link to KTorrent.


Actual Results:  
Got errors: "Malformed URL %001%004%00.%000%004%00 %00i%00m%00a%00g%00e%00,%00 %006%004%00b%00i%00t." and "Malformed URL ."

Expected Results:  
Prompt to start download of torrent file.

This worked fine in 4.3.1.
