Bug ID: 416509
Summary: The searched text in "Google Selected Text" tool
should be escaped
Product: kate
Version: 19.12.1
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: maciej.lib...@fastmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
The searched text in external tool "Google Selected Text" is not escaped. If it
contains meaningful, correct URL characters (like &, ?), they can be
interpreted by browser as URL parts, not search query.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Highlight text with some special characters, e.g. 'something to search &
something'
2. Use "Google Selected Text" tool
3. See browser address bar and google search field
OBSERVED RESULT
Address bar contains full searched text (in the same form in case of Firefox)
but google search field contains only the part before '&', e.g. 'something to
search'.
EXPECTED RESULT
Google search field contains whole text.
