Description Christian Weilbach 2011-03-06 21:12:25 UTC
Version:           4.6.0 (using KDE 4.6.1) 
OS:                Linux

Urls, such as the one below (expanded via a url-shorting service from choqok) don't load in kpart-webkit, but load in khtml. QWebkit browsers like Arora or Rekonq don't have a problem with it. Konqueror does not throw an error it simply draws the canvas of the kpart in the background color and stops loading.

When I escape the URL with %20 instead of whitespaces it simply reloads the url unescaped with the whitespaces breaking it again. This makes browsing with konqueror + webkit-kpart a no-go for me as it happens on many urls.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Load a URL like: http://stallman.org/archives/2011-jan-apr.html#05 March 2011 (Iran rights abuse investigation) in konqueror + kpart-webkit

Actual Results:  
Loading nothing.

Expected Results:  
Loading the website.

That url works fine for me. What version of kwebkitpart is installed on your system ?
