Bug Description
I installed XScreensaver using Synaptic Package Manager, which shows the installed version and latest version at 4.15-3ubuntu1.
In Screensaver Preferences ... Advanced ... Image Manipulation ... Choose Random Image ... I have pasted a URL from my public web site as ...
>> http://
... and then change tabs over to "Display Mode" and then back to "Advanced".
The URL now reads http:/daviding.
The problem was noted on Bug #1116006 for Ubuntu 12.10, but appears to still be a problem with Ubuntu 14.04. There, on 2014-05-14 it says ...
>> This bug was fixed in the package xscreensaver - 5.26-1ubuntu1
... but that doesn't be included as the current release.
Here are the release and version numbers.
