Package: iceape-browser
Version: 1.1.11-1
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/iceape
The browser exhibits really annoying behaviour of searching for a URL
(in google), rather than jumping to the URL.
If a URL is typed in the address bar, the browser should always jump to
the address.
For example, lets visit:
http://history.perl.org/PerlTimeline.html
Ok, we scroll down the page to:
Perl 1.000 is unleashed upon the world.
Rightclick the link for Perl 1.000 and "open link in new window"
The file "perl-1.0.tar.gz" is of type application/x-tar and Iceape does
not know how to handle this file type.
Button: Cancel
The address bar now contains:
http://history.perl.org/src/perl-1.0.tar.gz
Hightlight and cut "perl-1.0.tar.gz", so that address bar now contains:
http://history.perl.org/src/
Press Enter to visit the URL.
The browser jumps to:
http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=http%3A%2F%2Fhistory.perl.org%2Fsrc%2F&b%2F&btnG=Google+Search&meta=
It should have gone to:
http://history.perl.org/src/
Repeat this three times. Each time the browser jumps to:
http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=http%3A%2F%2Fhistory.perl.org%2Fsrc%2F&b%2F&btnG=Google+Search&meta=
instead of to the address in the address bar.
Now close down the browser, and go to a blank page.
Now type the following in the address bar:
http://history.perl.org/src/
Press enter, the browser goes to the address typed. This shows that the
problem is with the browser and not the website:
If URL addresses are pasted into the address bar, the browser submits
the pasted URL to Google, instead of jumping to the address.
Mark.
