Description
It some point in the last year-ish, PWAs stopped working with this URL - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1CeTeb2QPHKvzAKB1OHipSYrEnnnnxqIlRE5wI6ZOlQo/edit?gid=1548936614#gid=1548936614, the PWA now sends me to https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/?tgif=d and I then have to search for my “app” which is just a specific spreadsheet, increasing friction my UX. Which is highly annoying and I just stopped using the PWA and instead just hit “cmd + l” to highlight the URL bar and type “cycles” to search history and launch it that way. However, I don’t get a dedicated app icon when using the application switcher on Mac with that workaround, and really want the old behavior back.
I finally had the energy to open a ticket, here.
Steps to reproduce
- Go to a spreadsheet link e.g. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1CeTeb2QPHKvzAKB1OHipSYrEnnnnxqIlRE5wI6ZOlQo/edit?gid=1548936614#gid=1548936614
- Menu > Save and Share > Install Page as App - Name it “Cycles”
- Command space to launch spotlight, type “Cycles” then launch the app.
- It takes me to https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/?tgif=d instead.
Actual result
Instead of going to https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1CeTeb2QPHKvzAKB1OHipSYrEnnnnxqIlRE5wI6ZOlQo/edit?gid=1548936614#gid=1548936614, the PWA takes me to https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/?tgif=d.
Expected result
Instead of going to https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1CeTeb2QPHKvzAKB1OHipSYrEnnnnxqIlRE5wI6ZOlQo/edit?gid=1548936614#gid=1548936614, the PWA takes me to https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/?tgif=d.
