GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 45655
Web View briefly displays file name or "/" prior to page title
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 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. ------- Additional Comments From darin@bentspoon.com 2001-01-15 16:22:32 ---- 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. ------- Additional Comments From mikef@praxis.etla.net 2001-01-16 12:01:38 ---- Yeah, and if it ever gets fixed, it probably won't be me who fixes it, but oh well :) ------- Bug moved to this database by unknown@bugzilla.gnome.org 2001-09-09 20:51 -------
Changing to "old" target milestone for all bugs laying around with no milestone set.
marking future, this happens when using the gtkhtml too
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.
