[bug] In fresh window, entering data URL with meta refresh causes the window to close
-
Can someone else reproduce? This has been bugging me for a few months because it affects clicking on some of my Speed Dial bookmarks.
- Open a fresh new window (via command-N or through the File menu).
- Paste
data:text/html,<html><head><meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=https://example.com/"></head><body></body></html>into the address bar.
3. Press the Return key.Proper result: the tab should navigate to https://example.com/
Bug: The window immediately vanishes.This bug does not happen if there are other tabs opened in that window before pressing Return. It also happens if you use a bookmark that has such a URL pre-entered
(If you're wondering why I have odd Speed Dial bookmarks like that, I set up a few of these intermediate bookmarks a few years ago so that I could include directly in the bookmarks' URLs some custom inline SVGs to define the thumbnails that show on those Speed Dial bookmarks, rather than fetch thumbnails from screenshot of the final destination pages. Originally this was a workaround due to lack of custom thumbnail selection, and even now that Vivaldi has custom Speed Dial thumbnail selection, I still like using these meta-refresh-and-SVG bookmarks, because this way, if I refresh my Speed Dial page, I don't accidentally lose the custom thumbnails I set using inline SVGs in the data URLs.)

I can’t reproduce on a standalone install, navigates as expected

Hmm, puzzling. It happens to me 100% of the time, if I do it in a new window, and this has been persistent for months. I wonder what could account for the difference.
Anyone else up for trying? Just open a new window, immediately paste
data:text/html,<html><head><meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=https://example.com/"></head><body></body></html>in to the URL, and press "Return".

@Isildur Maybe it’s a macOS specific thing, I tried it on Linux. Can’t hurt if more people try it.

@Isildur And it works on Windows 10 22H2 correctly.
