Re: Konqueror: URL address bar spoofing vulnerabilities

> Tested with Konqueror 3.5.7 on Linux 2.6

Again, it didn't work. My address bar showed "%20@alt.swiecki.net/saft2.html", aligned to the right.
Sure, if you scroll all the way to the left you'll just see www.google.com, but otherwise the
address shown is what I reported above.
Tested with Konqueror 3.5.5, KDE 3.5.5, kernel 2.6.21-r4 (gentoo), 64bit version.
