What you’re describing here is a bug in the TextField component used by
the browser for the address bar. I verified that the field actually
contains the entire URL, despite not allowing to scroll through it (if
you long press to show the context menu, then select all, then copy, and
paste it into another app, you will see the entire URL).

So a bookmark to that page with a bogus address can be added, however
the current UI for bookmarks doesn’t allow editing the URL of a
bookmark, so that bookmark cannot be "fixed". I filed bug #1527560 to
track this as a more generic issue.

Title:
  LastPass bookmarklet not supported in ubuntu-touch browser

Status in webbrowser-app package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  LastPass offers a bookmarklet feature, a little piece of javascript
  you can run from the address bar which fills in passwords for you.
  This is the only convenient way to use a password manager like this on
  a device that isn't natively supported by their plugins.  I used to
  use this feature all the time on my Nokia N900.

  The way it should work is:

  * Log in to the LastPass website, and in the "Tools" menu select "Bookmarklets"
  * Long press on "LastPass Fill!" and tap "Bookmark link"
  * Navigate to a website to log in to
  * On the address bar, clear the address and type "lastpass"
  * Bookmarklet will be suggested as a bookmark with a star icon (it starts "android:lpfill...")
  * Tap that bookmark
  * It should execute the javascript and fill in username and password (after authenticating with LastPass)

  In fact after tapping the bookmark it does nothing.
