Wow, the misfeature of removed URL editing is surprisingly annoying. Completely surprising if you've been using browsers before for any time.

- erinnh 6y agoI cant confirm that. I just tried it on my phone and I can edit URLs. Even after searching for something else first as the above poster mentioned.
- rrobukef 6y agoReproduced! Apparently search interferes only with some URLs: 0) Copy this url: "https://forums.spacebattles.com/forums/worm.115/" https://forums.spacebattles.com/forums/worm.115/" 1) Search anything (I use ddg, load the page completely) 2) Tap the url-bar. Notice no url, just the search. 3) Remove the search, "Fill link from clipboard" appearch, tap it. 4) Tap the URL-bar. The original search appears again. Unable to edit copied url. The search stays present as long as the URLs with the same behaviour are entered manually, from history, or pasted. Most urls reset the behaviour. I have three from different domains. One is a top-level URL, the others are not. The top-level of the example does not have this behaviour.
- jabiko 6y agoFor me it works. When I tap the address field after opening a search result the URL is shown and editable.
- rrobukef 6y agoPart of the behaviour is still present. I use DDG to search. When I search (e.g. "test"), I am unable to edit or copy the query URL. Since the original comment there has been an update. A random bug is possible as well: I had edited URL's successfully before.
