Address Bar not updating url after redirect
-
@gertor I'm getting the bookmark shortcut error consistently.
- enter a bookmark shortcut in the address bar, go to URL.
- now go to other urls, bookmark shortcut will remain the only thing showing in address bar.
- cannot test in Guest profile, because bookmarks are not supported there.
- don't have an alternate user profile to test there.
-
@paul1149 What's a bookmark shortcut? I've never used that feature.
-
@gertor I think they mean the Nickname of a bookmark.
You can assign a short text to a bookmark and open it by typing in address field. -
Another user reported a very similar sounding issue a little while back, I could confim, but for the life of me I can't find it (maybe it was removed?)
It wasn't a redirect though, just simply going to a new URL would keep the old URL. It was a pretty plain bug. This one though I can't reproduce.
Edit: I didn't find the posting (I think the user disappeared?), but I did find the example URLs they used:
https://www.elmundo.es
Then paste in:
https://elearn.uni-sofia.bg
URL bar will stay showing El Mundo.Was reported and possibly confirmed by the doc (?)

URL bar will stay showing El Mundo.That's misbehaving here too.
I'm not sure it happens for all bookmark nicknames here, but it consistently does for this one:
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBXOFnNTULFaAnj24PAeblg/videos
nickname:
tc
Note, I also have a bookmark with the nickname "tct", so that I have to type "tc" and then hit Delete to kill the suggested trailing "t" before hitting Enter. Don't know if that's relevant.

@paul1149 It looks like we're talking about possibly four different issues here.
- The original issue you reported, relating to URL shortener redirects, unconfirmed, possibly caused by an extension, so I guess that can be ignored.
- The issue reported by @gertor which just says "same behaviour" without any more details. Might be a completely different issue.
- Issue with bookmarks using nicknames not updating the URL.
- The last issue with the URL not updating after some specific site (Elmundo.es) is open, confirmed by several users, reported as bug and also I believe confirmed on the dev side.
So, first of all, we need to stop mixing possibly different issues together. It's very confusing and impossible to keep track of all the different possibilities. That's not saying they're not related, they might be.
I made a video of the #3 issue in a clean profile of Vivaldi 4.0 Stable, I cannot reproduce it:
https://fex.net/s/am3omm0At the very least make a step-by-step instruction how to reproduce in a clean profile.

Related to old bugs:
VB-66013 "Blank homepage after button pressed" - confirmed.
VB-70261 "Go to homepage button not working" - confirmedhttps://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/49381/go-to-homepage-button-not-working

Very complicated. I tried in a new profile. Created that "tc" bookmark. It worked correctly.
Then I created a different "tct" bookmark. Now the "tc" bookmark misbehaved.
Tried it again, and now it behaved correctly.
Also, in the new profile typing "tc" in the address bar does not populate "tct", so I don't have to use the Delete key to kill the trailing "t".
I have no idea what to make of this. So I'll leave it to better minds.
Thanks.

Yes, this is simply caused by the sort order of the bookmarks in the URL bar dropdown. The first match will populate the URL first. This seems to depend on the sort order set in the Bookmarks Panel for some weird reason.
In the above image, sort order is manual and
zor.de
is ordered beforeyoutube.com
in the panel and so shows up first with the nicktct
.Edit: What does your
tct
bookmark point to? It might be a clue.
Also @paul1149 it would really help if you can make a video showing the issue. Recommend you use https://getsharex.com -

Gold. I simply moved "tc" to the earlier folder "tct" is in, and the problem is resolved. Doing that won't be feasible in every case, but it's fine for this one, since "tct" pointed to the related thechosen.tv site.
Thanks much.
