Bug ID: 516772
Summary: Location bar confusingly remains fish: when trying to
overwrite location
Classification: Applications
Product: dolphin
Version First 22.12.3
Reported In:
Platform: Debian stable
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: bars: location

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When operating in a fish: directory, changing the location with ctrl-L stays
locked in "fish:", risking data loss
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Connect to a fish: URL
2. ctrl-L, the URL is auto-selected; enter "/tmp", hit enter
3. see that the result is still fish:host > tmp, instead of /tmp
Another path:
1. Connect to a fish: URL
2. ctrl-L, the URL is auto-selected; hit "delete" to remove URL
3. using drop-down, change to file:, overwrite file:/// with "/tmp", hit enter
3. see that the result is still fish:host > tmp, instead of /tmp
The difficulty here is that muscle memory of "ctrl-L then type the path" leads
a less attentive person to believe they are somewhere else. I recently lost a
great deal of important data this way.
At the least, when one overwrites fish://user@host at host with "/tmp", the
"fish:" should appear as it does when you delete everything on the line.
