Bug Description

Get that issue only on that page:

- open a bugs.launchpad.net tab and login with your user
- hit 'bugs' icon to set your bugs list
- sort it by ' date last updated ' with the most recent date first

what i get:
- loading the page the first time, enter to a loop: loading cant end
- that also happen after opening/viewing an existing reported bug, then hitting the 'back arrow' to get the bugs list

what i need to do to stop the loop:
- right click on the page, to swith the 'encoding' option to/from 'automatic' / 'unicode'
- and vice versa

this happen every time since a while but never with other urls
my system use 'english' as default language, but with french keyboard set as local.
Note that issue does not exist when using an other browser, like chromium or firefox.

Got some luck by tweaking the 'fonts' tab midori's properties:

i was having the reported issue with:
- own choice settings for 'proportional font family' & 'fixed-width font family'
- 'always use my font choices' enabled

The issue is gone with:
- 'times new roman' & 'ubuntu mono' fonts
- 'always use my font choice' disabled

Using 'preferd encoding' as 'unicode(uth-8)'

Comment #2 above was too early sent: in fact , the problem is still there; maybe a url page issue instead.

AS i was irritated by that issue, i've upgraded to midori-gtk3 0.5.8, and that issue does not exist with it.
Maybe its time to drop 0.4.3 version which is quite old
