229254 - Incorrect URL in location bar when copy-pasting a URL with newline characters

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 23485

(SeaMonkey :: Location Bar, defect)

Description

[Matthieu MOY]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; SunOS sun4u; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030701
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; SunOS sun4u; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030701

When I copy-past a URL with a newline character from an external application,
Mozilla shows only the beginning of the URL.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. In a text editor, type
http://www.moz
illa.org/
(including the newline between 'moz' and 'illa'
2. Select it
3. Past it in the location bar of Mozilla

Actual Results:  
You can see only

http://www.moz

In the location bar

Expected Results:  
Remove newline characters from the URL or encode them properly, thus displaying
the full URL on a single line.

Fortunately, I didn't manage to reproduce this with a link containing a newline.
The problems seems to happen only when using copy-paste. (Thus, this is not a
security problem.)

confirming 20031216 Win2k although I'm sure there's a dupe, searching...

workaround:
add a pref to user.js in your profile, if it doesn´t exist, create a user.js.

user_pref("editor.singleLine.pasteNewlines", 3);

I also got another one in my user.js, don´t know if it is relevant:
user_pref("browser.urlbar.clickSelectsAll", true); 

and if you want to get rid of Marquee:
pref("browser.blink_allowed", false);

Thanks for the tip. An easier way to add/modify pref. entries is to type
'about:config' in the location bar (as you know well).
