390549 - IPv6 addresses in URLs have [] disappear in non-editing location bar state

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Firefox :: Address Bar, defect)

Description

[David Baron :dbaron: (⌚️UTC-4, no longer working on Mozilla)]

In the non-editing state of the location bar, the "[" and "]" that go around an IPv6 address in a URL disappear.

Steps to reproduce:
 1. go to http://[2001:200:0:8002:203:47ff:fea5:3085]/ (that's the current IPv6 address of http://www.kame.net/)
 2. look at the location bar

Expected results:
 Location bar shows http://[2001:200:0:8002:203:47ff:fea5:3085]/ (whether editing it or not)

Actual results:
 Location bar shows http://[2001:200:0:8002:203:47ff:fea5:3085]/ (unless you edit it)

Tested in a Firefox trunk debug build on Linux pulled at  2007-07-31T14:00-07:00

I've added https://litmus.mozilla.org/show_test.cgi?id=5019 to verify the address's integrity.

While I'm here, verifying that we don't truncate the URL in any way, using today's trunk builds.
