Details

The URL bar accepts line feeds and characters after line feeds. One can paste an entire essay into the URL bar. Shouldn't this thing be single line?
And when you do paste an entire essay and hit return, you get this: JavaScript Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x804b0012 [nsIBrowserInstance.loadUrl]" nsresult: "0x804b0012 (<unknown>)" location: "JS frame :: chrome://navigator/content/navigator.js :: BrowserLoa dURL :: line 1068" data: no]

Is this a feature or a bug? I like the idea that I can paste something that's split across two lines into a single-line text input and have it go to a single line. However, on other text inputs (not URL bar, e.g., http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/ ) I can paste two lines and get it to show up as two lines. That's bad. (Using Win95 Mozilla 1999-12-23-08-M13.) Changing component to HTML Form Controls and reassigning.
I don't think it's good or bad, but that it is an unhandled exception is bad.

Now I feel sumb because I have to add back. Sorry for the spam.
REOPEN: I don't think this is a dupe, b/c URL bar and Form submission are not the same thing. In this case, I think we need a URI fixup design decision made here. You could take the input and URL encode the line breaks.

no, the url bar and input type text (single line text field) are the same *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 21032 ***
