Description of the issue:
Steps to Reproduce (add as many as necessary):
Open an arbitrary pdf file, e.g., https://arxiv.org/pdf/1904.06652.pdf
Actual Result (gifs and screenshots are welcome!): https://arxiv.org/pdf/1904.06652.pdf ”
Expected result: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1904.06652.pdf ”
Additional Information:
I found the same report from another people. But it was closed unfortunately.
When using the built-in PDF viewer, the URL bar contains, instead of the URL of the PDF file, a URL referring to the extension. For example, when clicking at
one gets, in the URL bar:
chrome-extension://oemmndcbldboiebfnladdacbdfmadadm/https://www.w3.org/2019/Talks/Amersfoort-IH/Presentation.pdf
This may be a problem if one wants to, e.g., copy-paste the URL of the PDF file. The same extension is used in other browsers, and I have not seen this behaviour before…
