In that case, made their could indeed be a personal setting in some
configuration dialog?


Well maybe it's only an opinion, but then the other point of view is merely an opinion too.


Moreover, the thing is, somebody had to _go_out_of_their_way_ to implement this behavior, which is an inconvenience to at least some of the users.

And if the other path had been taken, would that actually have _inconvenienced_ anybody? Do we really want to pander to the kind of users who might be "scared" of long URLs? Maybe it might explode in their face or other such nonsense?  :-)
Probably that kind of person would get an iPhone anyways, blissfully unaware that there are other smartphones out there :-)

Ok, but if I wanted an Opera Phone, I would have gotten an Opera Phone
all along

from the *beginning* of a URL is shown (so if a URL is longer than 14-20
characters, only part of the host portion of the URL is visible anyway).

Yeah, show the beginning of the URL. My point all along.

Btw, the Android buitin browser shows the entire URL as well (... as
much as fits, from the beginning, yadda di, yadda da, ...). And the
archetypical iPhone user might have heard that "Samsung" makes nice
smartphones too, so even this category would be able accustomed to see
more than just the hostname :-)

Title:
  Full URL of page not shown unless user clicks on it

Status in Ubuntu UX:
  Opinion
Status in webbrowser-app package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  By default, the browser only shows the host name of the page. However,
  the full URL is shown when clicking on it.

  There's really no reason to do this, so why not show the entire URL
  all the time (or at least as much of it as fits in the URL bar)

  What I expected to happen:
    URL should be visible entirely all the time (or at least as much as fits)

  What happened instead:
    Only host name of page is shown. Rest of URL is only shown after clicking on it.
