Address bar was acting like search bar

[ron_1]

I just had a weird occurrence in Linux Pale Moon (this never happened in Windows). I just opened Pale Moon and did a copy & paste into the address bar (a web address, of course) and pressed enter. Instead of the webpage opening up, I got search results in Wikipedia, which was the current search plug-in showing in the search bar. I copy/pasted again and same thing happened. I then changed the search plug-in to DDG and then got search results in DDG. I closed Pale Moon and restarted it, and then everything was back to normal. Just thought I'd report this as I don't recall seeing this problem in a thread before. If it happens again, I'll post back here.

This can happen if there is a char like a space or invisible char before or in the url around the scheme. Just type it manually and tell me if it happens.

I didn't think/know of that. Unfortunately I already deleted the text file that contained the url. However, I don't think this was the case, because when I restarted Pale Moon, I pasted the same thing in and it worked fine then. I can't remember though if I went back to the text file and recopied the address, or not. There shouldn't have been a space before or after the url in the text file; the only text in the file was the url.
