Version: unspecified (using KDE 4.5.90) OS: Linux Address line edit becomes empty (more exactly contains last editing content) and icon switches to folder icon on switch from tab where editing was done. It's better to see how to reproduce I think. Version is not so important. This bug was present in 4.4, 4.5 and now in 4.6 rc1. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Open Konqueror. Type in address line some valid URL, e.g. http://kde.org/. Open new tab (any way). Type something (at least one letter) and backspace all. Switch to previous tab (Ctrl+Tab, Ctrl+[ or with mouse - doesn't matter). Actual Results: Address is empty (more when you switch again icon in the tab replaced) Expected Results: Address have to contain address of current tab
Well, KDE 4.6.0 release and nothing changed.
4.6.2 already but bug is present yet.
I noticed this one also, and it's _really_ annoying. . Other variants to reproduce this bug: a) Have multiple tabs open, be in tab 2, have a third, open a fourth (I used C-T). Then do editing the URL line there just as NickLion described it. Close the tab (I used C-W). Bang: Tab 3 looses its URL. b) Have at least one tab open, open another one (C-T), start editing the URL, hit C-W in between. Bang: First tab gets the half-entered URL of the temporary tab. . I'm using Konqueror 4.4.5 btw.
Just noticed: This works also the other way 'round. How to reproduce: # Have a tab open with a URL in its address field. # Open new tab (C-T). # Go back to first tab (C-,). # Go to the URL (C-K, S-Tab), copy it (C-X, C-V). # Switch back to new tab (Tab, Tab, Arrow-Right) C- is Control, S- is shift, Tab is tabulator key, Arrow-Right is navigation key "->" . @Nick, do you confirm that this behaviour is also present in your newer (than mine) version of KDE?
I wanted to add why this behaviour is in particular annoying: Given I'm working with a tab (A) then go to a second page to look up something, then kill that tab and have my first tab's (A's) URL overwritten. Then I decide to start over with that first page A and hit F5. Then I regularly have this 'Sorry, pal, this is no valid URL' type of conversation with konqueror.. And need to retype or start-type and re-select the tab's URL. This is really, really annoying. And BTW, in my opinion Konqueror should just re-use the last known valid URL rather than complaining and standing in my way.
Can reproduce with 4.6.4
4.7 RC1 Looks like bug is fixed. I would test more.
4.7 RC2 URL line edit now works better. But there is new bug (focus may switch to invisible tab).
(In reply to comment #8) > 4.7 RC2 > URL line edit now works better. But there is new bug (focus may switch to > invisible tab). That is a different issue so please open another bug report for that one if you still experience it in the released version of 4.7. Th bug reported in this ticket has however been addressed when bug# 187891 was fixed.
