Addressline is overwritten when dropping URL

Bug #208742 reported by m_loginname on 2008-03-29

Affects		Status	Importance	Assigned to	Milestone
	kdebase (Ubuntu)	Fix Released	Low	Unassigned

Bug Description

This behavior can be reproduced in the following way:

1. Search Wikipedia with Google in a new konqueror session

Alt + F2 -> type gg:Wikipedia -> Return

2. Move over the first search result link (Wikipedia) and drag the URL right beside the Google Search tab.

Now the Wikipedia main page will be opened in the second tab, but the address for the first tab is overwritten, so the favicon of the addressline and the tab also.

Patch for file konq_tabs.cc Edit (200 bytes, text/plain)

I am using kubuntu 7.10 with konqueror from ppa.launchpad.net.

I created a fix for the error. It affects the file kdebase-3.5.9/konqueror/konq_tabs.cc

< m_pViewManager->mainWindow()->openURL( newView, lstDragURLs.first(), QString::null );

Thank you for reporting this and working on the fix, but it looks to me like your patch doesn't do anything. Maybe you made a mistake generating the patch?

Anyway, I can't reproduce this in KDE 4.1 on Intrepid, so I am closing this as fixed.

Changed in kdebase:
importance:	Undecided → Low
status:	New → Fix Released

Yes, the diff looks very strange. But it moves the line m_pViewManager->mainWindow()... below the following line. I can also confirm that it is fixed in konqueror4

Ah, I see. In the future, please use diff -u, it's a little more commonplace (in my experience) and easier to read.
