I found this when I try to verify bug 28784. Steps of reproduce 1. Create some non ASCII file name (for example, in Japanese system, create folder c:\日本語 and create a file called 本田.txt 2. Select menu File | Open Files to select c:\日本語\本田.txt Notice that in URL bar displays as file:///C|/%93%FA%96%7B%8C%EA/%96%7B%93c.html In 4.x, file:///D|/日本語/本田.html Tested 2000022909 Win32, Linux, Mac build.

Screenshot 1 attached is url1.png It shows the bad display of the URL even though the page is correctly displayed

Hi I noticed a problem which seems related to the issue described here. I opened the following URL on my computer (Mozilla 0.9.4 on Linux Mandrake 8.1) using the menu item 'File/Open File' : file:/mnt/win_d/WebSite/floppy/10 août/index.html the page displays fine but the URL reference is displayed as: file:////mnt/win_d/WebSite/floppy/10%20ao%FBt/index.html Testing on the same computer using Konqueror 2.2.1 the URL is correctly shown as file:/mnt/win_d/WebSite/floppy/10 août/index.html Looks like the display of blank character is put to '%20' and û is shown as '%FB'. A cosmetic problem. Worse still if I cut/paste the above URL into the browser (instead of using the menu item 'File/Open File') and hit enter the browser redisplays the following rubbish URL file:///mnt/win_d/WebSite/floppy/10%20ao%C3%BBt/index.html and a blank page! Looks like the URL input field can't handle the french characters. This problem looks related to the bad display problem but the impact is much worse (URL input field not accepting french characters in URL name). Let me know if there is anything I can do to help further (or if I need to report this in another bug report). I can be contacted at wstinson@infonie.fr

The second attachment URL2.png shows what happened after I cut/pasted the URL into the browser and hit enter. THe URL is redisplayed strangely and a blank page is shown!

The URL is always shown correctly in Konqueuer 2.2.1 and both cut/pasting the URL into the browser and the file open menus show the page and the URL correctly (see URL3.PNG screenshot)

Hi I did some testing on various browsers on WIN98 platform. Here are the results: Netscape 4.7 URL displays OK (except ':' character shown as '|') and cut/paste of the URL works. Netscape 6 URL displays badly. Cut/Paste works (after hitting enter the page shows but the URL displays badly) IE URL displays OK and cut/paste of URL works Opera URL displays OK and cut/paste of URL works

Roy worked on another file URL bug before, reassigned to him.

roy- do you agree to work on it ?

I think if 105909 gets fixed, then we don't have to worry about this bug. Marking as duplicate. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 105909 ***

I'm marking as verified now, will verify after bug 105909 fixed.
