Package: epiphany-webkit
Version: 2.28.0-3
Severity: serious
Justification: renders package unsuitable for release
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
IMHO epiphany-webkit still has several regressions that make it unsuitable
to replace epiphany-gecko.
* does a POST when refreshing a view that was obtained with a GET. Results
very between potential data loss and minor annoyance, depending on the
quality of the web applications that you are using. For example, may result
in duplicate submitted data with Bugzilla.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=595348
* Passwords for web forms are not saved. Major functionality regression.
Release notes say that won't be fixed until 2.30.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=582267
* Can't use enter to activate a link found with 'find in links'.
Major accessibility and usability regression.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=595347
* URLs such as 'localhost:8000' and 'localhost/manual' result in a Google
search. Webkit does not like leaving off the initial 'http://' from an
entered URL. Major functionality regression with privacy implications.
Unfortunately, upstream can't reproduce it, maybe it's because of a
Debian specific patch?

* Open button in download dialog no longer present. Usability regression.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=583426
* No drag and drop of URLs selected text and images into other programs.
Rather important usability regression.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=583427
* Up button is disabled. Minor functionality regression.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=583424
* Find in links no longer works. It finds strings outside of links.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=595346
* epiphany's popup menu is replaced with the default webkit menu.
Useful features such as 'copy image location' unavailable.
Fixed for 2.29.x but not in 2.28.

Hey,
I am going to close this bug. Like I said before, it is not very helpful
for tracking the problems. Some of the biggest regressions listed are
fixed, others have specific bugs tracking them, some should have new
bugs reported. If you feel I'm leaving some out, please do file them as
new, separate bugs.

it may be fixed sooner, but this is an important regression indeed

care to report a separate patch, with important severity, and tag it
forwarded?

It does work now, but not the "down arrow" close to it, care to file a
new bug?

New bug please? =)

This is a limitation in libsoup. Bug exists and was reassigned.

This is a limitation of gnome-keyring, and its API. There's little that
can be done to remedy this situation, short of what has been proposed by
Joss.
