"Loading" message in status text gives wrong domain if URL contains @domain

[Matthew Paul Thomas]

Binary package hint: epiphany-browser

Web Browser 2.22.2, Ubuntu 8.04

1. Try to open <http://qa.debian.org/developer.php?<email address hidden>>.
2. Look at the status bar.

What you see: "Loading “kitterman.com”..."
What you should see: Something that doesn't suggest it's accessing an URL on kitterman.com.

The same problem happens with <http://bugzilla.gnome.org/describeuser.cgi?<email address hidden>>, but not <http://searchdns.netcraft.com/?position=limited&host=feh.com>. So it seems the common factor is an "@" character followed by something that looks like a domain name.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue for you. Can you try with the latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.

That's ridiculous. There should be some sort of rule that you're forbidden to mark a bug report as Incomplete, if testing the steps to reproduce on the latest Ubuntu release would take even less time than asking the reporter to do it.

Anyhow, this is fixed with Epiphany's switch to WebKit.

yea, bug was not reproducible. But that does not mean bug was fixed nor that the bug does not exist in your install. hence the question to check if still an issue.
