Vivaldi removes trailing slash when editing URL, stop please?
-
I use the address bar a lot, and often edit URLs directly.
One bad behaviour Vivaldi has (inherited from Chromium as always...) is that it removes the trailing slash behind domains, which IMO is very bad behaviour. I then have to manually add the trailing slash before I can add more to the URL.
Opera, Firefox and old Edge does not do this.
Could Vivaldi please stop doing this? Is it one more bug in the address bar needing fixing? It only does this on the first page load, which does lead me to think it's a bug instead of intended behavour.

WTH?! What do these things have to do with Chromium? The fact that other browsers (resp. Chrome) do something (& I don’t know if Chrome does this) doesn’t mean that when Vivaldi does that it’s inherited from Chromium…
Btw., I’ve seen a piece of code doing this somewhere & this seems to be intentional—though maybe only in the highlighted URL, not in the text field.
And, yes, I mind this as well, even in the display/highlighted URL (though I hardly ever use the address field).

Well, because Chromium does the exact same thing, no other browser does, that's why
I guess I could just report it as a bug, just wondering if it might already be.

@Gwen-Dragon Haha, thanks for that - you might as well merge it with VB-71839 then

@Gwen-Dragon or @Pathduck Can someone link to one of the bugreports, so I can "vote" for it?
I could find it anywhere. -
@daniel2 The Vivaldi bug tracking system is not open to the general public. Only developers and internal testers have access. You can, however, request status updates. There is a topic specifically for this purpose.

@Gwen-Dragon Hi there! I'm using a freshly updated version 3.4.2066.90 (Stable channel) (64-bit), but this bug is still present, unfortunately. Could that be a problem on my end, or did the fix not make it into this version yet?
Thanks!
-
@BodgyBadger It's not been fixed yet unfortunately. Hoping for 3.5.

OK, well then... What's the best way to get the message: "you are wrong" back to said dev? If they don't want to show the trailing slash, fine, but at least make it consistent then. Right now the slash is present until you click on the address bar, and then it magically disappears. Unsurprisingly, much frustration ensues as it turns out I'm navigating to https://website.comaddedparameter and I'm getting a NXDOMAIN for my efforts.
I shall continue to shake my fist at a cloud until this is fixed properly.
Cheers.

@Gwen-Dragon You said earlier that VB-71838 was fixed but status now is "working as intended" instead?
This is turning into one of my pet bugs. I think it's a Chromium thing, because it looks "prettier" than when adding the trailing slash.
By the
addedparameter
I think Bodgy means when you edit the URL, press End and then you have to manually add the slash. Which might be one button on US keyboards, but for many others this is a combo (for me Shift+7).There's still a lot of issues with editing the URL, like this:
It loses the secure padlock after editing...Firefox, Opera and even old Edge gets this right. Not checked new Edge - can you check?

@Gwen-Dragon
he bug tracker entry told me that it is fixed, i apologize, but i do not check all bugs if they are gone.
Of course not
If status is still "Fixed" then hopefully we might see some change to this soonish.
No if you hit Return key then the domain is loaded and shwos lock. Tested with 3.4.2066.90
It's also in stable. In my example, I add a trailing slash and press Enter. It looks like Vivaldi then ignores the Enter key and does not load the page, so it's stuck in "edit mode".
Note that the reload button does not change state, nothing is loaded.Please report to bug tracker! I will confirm!
Will do.

Sorry, but a URL path needs a / at the beginning. Adding
addedparamater
like you did is wrong.Well, yes, of course, that's the point. When adding an extra parameter or path one starts typing or pasting, expecting the trailing slash to be there... which then disappears because of this "helpful" feature we're discussing in this thread, leading to the malformed URL.
In any case, thanks for looking into this!

hello,
when will this bug be fixed please?
tx
-
@peefy There are thousands and thousands of reported bugs. No single bug is assigned a fix date. They get fixed as the developers can get to them.
-
@Ayespy ok tx!
-
If I grasped it correctly, this issue is a
won't fix
?! -
@jumpsq I haven't seen anything to indicate that.

@Gwen-Dragon Thanks!
