Bug ID: 449227
Summary: Directory names like @.@ get mistakenly recognized as
https URLs
Product: frameworks-kio
Version: 5.90.0
Platform: openSUSE RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: URL navigator
Assignee: kio-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: groszdaniel...@gmail.com
CC: kdelibs-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
The navigation bar mistakenly "recognizes" directories with certain names as
https:// URLs, specifically ones that contain an at sign, a dot, and another at
sign. (The minimal example I've found is "@.@". The practical instance where
this came up was pnpm module directories, which have cute names like
rc-dock@3.2.10_react-dom@17.0.2+react@17.0.2 .)
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Dolphin
2. Create a directory named @.@
3. Enter /path/to/@.@ in the Location Bar in Edit mode and press Enter, OR put
the Location Bar in Edit mode, then navigate to /path/to/@.@ , then click the
tick at the end of the Location Bar to put it in Navigate mode.
4. Also try entering file:///path/to/@.@ in the Location Bar, and then pressing
Enter.
OBSERVED RESULT
After STEP 3: The Location bar changes to breadcrumbs showing
https:⏵path⏵to⏵@.@ . A message saying "Dolphin does not support web pages, the
web browser has been launched" is displayed, and the default web browser opens
https://path/to/@.@ . If you switch the Location Bar to Edit mode, it's
https:///home/gd/test/misc/%40.@/ .
After STEP 4: The Location Bar's content is changed to /path/to/%40.@/ , and a
message saying "The file or folder /path/to/%40.@ does not exist" is displayed
(unless it actually exists, in which case Dolphin shows the content of that
directory, rather than the one named @.@).
EXPECTED RESULT
In either case, it switches to the @.@ directory.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The issue is also present in Open/Save dialogs. In that case, a web browser
isn't opened, and no error message is shown. However, the Location bar is
changed to an https URL, and the contents of the actual directory aren't shown.
