This is a largely matter of personal preference and not a bug - if you look at other mobile browsers you'll see both approaches being used by different products, e.g. :
- Opera Mobile Browser & - Safari Mobile Browser: Only host name is shown - Chrome Mobile Browser & Firefox Mobile Browser : As much as possible from the *beginning* of a URL is shown (so if a URL is longer than 14-20 characters, only part of the host portion of the URL is visible anyway). Thank you for taking the time to give us your opinion on this (we have 'opinion' and 'wishlist' categories for these sorts of items in future, as they are not bugs) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to webbrowser-app in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1516245 Title: Full URL of page not shown unless user clicks on it Status in Ubuntu UX: Opinion Status in webbrowser-app package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: By default, the browser only shows the host name of the page. However, the full URL is shown when clicking on it. There's really no reason to do this, so why not show the entire URL all the time (or at least as much of it as fits in the URL bar) phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~/public_html$ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 15.04 Release: 15.04 phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~/public_html$ apt-cache policy webbrowser-app webbrowser-app: Installed: 0.23+15.04.20151103-0ubuntu1 Candidate: 0.23+15.04.20151103-0ubuntu1 Version table: *** 0.23+15.04.20151103-0ubuntu1 0 1001 http://ppa.launchpad.net/ci-train-ppa-service/stable-snapshot/ubuntu/ vivid/main armhf Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 0.23+15.04.20150416-0ubuntu1 0 500 http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/ vivid/main armhf Packages What I expected to happen: URL should be visible entirely all the time (or at least as much as fits) What happened instead: Only host name of page is shown.
