Current behaviour:
In the web browser the URL gets truncated to just the (sub)domain part. For example, the URL of the 'report a bug' form on Launchpad is:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/canonical-devices-system-image/+filebug
What is displayed in the browser is:
bugs.launchpad.net
The rest of the URL won't show until you touch the address bar. This behaviour is problematic, because it hides one of the primary attributes of the open web.
Expected behaviour:
By default the URL should not be hidden. Because space is constrained on the typical devices this browser is used on, the protocol part can be omitted by default, as long as the typical lock icon is present for HTTPS URL (see attached image). So by default:
bugs.launchpad.net/canonical-devices-system-image/+filebug
On touch on the address bar:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/canonical-devices-system-image/+filebug
I would recommend following the standard behaviour of modern web browsers to emphasize the domain part of the URL in black (with the rest of the URL in grey) as well.
