Hello! I use Brave on my Android, and recently I’ve noticed a small bug. If you type into the address bar while you’re already on a site, and if said site’s url is long enough to extend past the visible “end” of the address bar, clicking on the bar and immediately typing into it doesn’t fully erase the url, leaving some of its characters after what you’re typing. This doesn’t happen with urls short enough to fit in the visible space of the address bar, and it only happens when you type into the bar right after clicking on it (the X to fully clear it still works fine).
Here’s my current version: Brave 1.68.137, Chromium 127.0.6533.100
And here’s my phone info: Android 10; Build/QPUS30.52-23-13-4
I confirm the bug. It’s been annoying me for the last 3 months.
It happens only on long URLs, once you click the address bar the URL seems to be fully selected but when you start typing a part of the URL remains. Sometimes the same URL (for example on another tab) gets selected and removed fully and sometimes a part of it remains.
It seems like the last non-asci character is the culprit.
Example
Link visited in the clip (added space after dots to avoid showing link preview in this post):
www . filmweb . pl/film/Klecha-2023-764385/discussion/2024+Filmu+brak+przez+spraw%C4%99+w+s%C4%85dzie,3432158
%C4% is the letter “ą” in Polish, notice that in the above clip this letter is rendered as “ą” in the address bar but when I copied the URL and pasted here it’s escaped.
Interesting bug — I’m not seeing it on my Android device and I’m just using the default keyboard built into the device. @seejaydee does switching to the default keyboard change the behavior?
Edit : it was SwiftKey, just reinstalled and the issue is fixed
If you are reading this and planning to do the same don’t forget to backup your data first!
