383358 - Firefox should remove newlines (\n) when pasting URLs to the adressbar

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Siegfried-A. Gevatter]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.3) Gecko/20061201 Firefox/2.0.0.3 (Ubuntu-feisty)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.3) Gecko/20061201 Firefox/2.0.0.3 (Ubuntu-feisty)

When pasting urls like

"www.ubuntu.com?
www.google.de"

www.google.de is displayed in the address bar. On pressing enter it changes to www.ubuntu.com?www.google.de an opens the Ubuntu webpage. that can be a bit wired. The addressbar should filter out newlines directly (on paste) - not only after pressing enter.

Same applies to the input box for searchs.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Copy this URL (both lines):

www.ubuntu.com?
www.google.de

2. Paste it on the addressbar. You will only see the last line.

3. Press enter.
Actual Results:  
The URL will changed to "www.ubuntu.com?www.google.de" after pressing enter.

Expected Results:  
It should do that before.

This was fixed on trunk in or around December 2005. You can test it on the latest trunk nightly: http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-trunk/
Please reopen if you still can reproduce the problem.
