Description eli 2001-09-10 00:51:54 UTC
When you display a Web page, Nautilus will momentarily display the page's file
name (or a "/") as its title, prior to displaying the actual page title.

[Forked from bug #41443]

* REPRODUCIBLE: Always

* STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

1. Open your Sidebar. Point Nautilus to one of the following sample URLs:
	- http://www.eazel.com
	- http://www.prometheus-music.com/about.html
	- http://www.slashdot.org

* ACTUAL RESULTS: 

 When Nautilus first displays any index page, it'll show "/" in the window title
and Sidebar prior to displaying the actual index.html page.

If you display a non-index page (e.g. prometheus-music/about.html), it'll
briefly show the relative page title (about.html) prior to displaying the actual
page.

Same behavior occurs upon presing "Refresh".

Mozilla M18 standalone and Netscape Communicator 4.75 do not have this problem.

* EXPECTED RESULTS: 

  Only the actual page title should be presented as the page title, not the file
name.

This is largely a limitation in the Nautilus shell. It has no idea that the web
view is going to supply a better name, so it supplies a default one first.

Perhaps we can fix this some day, but it doesn't seem the slightest bit urgent
to me.

Yeah, and if it ever gets fixed, it probably won't be me who fixes it, but oh
well :)

Changing to "old" target milestone for all bugs laying around with no milestone set.

marking future, this happens when using the gtkhtml too
Comment 3 Dave Bordoley [Not Reading Bug Mail] 2002-04-27 22:26:11 UTC
marking won't fix this is due to the fact that nautilus only uses the
filename in the window border, not the whole url. we probably should
use the whole url, but thats another bug.
