Description spamless.9v5xj 2022-06-30 14:22:19 UTC 
SUMMARY
***
When pasting in a string such as "usr/local/bin/", Dolphin thinks that because it does not start with / the string is a URL and redirects the user to the browser without any prompting
***


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Paste the string "usr/local/bin/" sans quotes into the location bar in Dolphin
2. Press Enter

OBSERVED RESULT
Dolphin states that "[it] does not support web pages, the web browser has been launched". Web browser opens, attempting to visit the URL "http:/usr/local/bin".

EXPECTED RESULT
Either to bring the user to /usr/local/bin or a prompt asking if the user wishes to open the web browser

I have also discovered while misclicking when trying to open /foo/bar/1234567890 (which is a file on my PC) that if you input a string of numbers, eg. 1234567890 it will also be interpreted as an IP address.
