Title:
  Browser: Path component of URL is hidden by default

Status in Canonical System Image:
  Incomplete
Status in Ubuntu UX:
  New
Status in webbrowser-app package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Current behaviour:

  In the web browser the URL gets truncated to just the (sub)domain
  part. For example, the URL of the 'report a bug' form on Launchpad is:

      https://bugs.launchpad.net/canonical-devices-system-image/+filebug

  What is displayed in the browser is:

      bugs.launchpad.net

  The rest of the URL won't show until you touch the address bar. This
  behaviour is problematic, because it hides one of the primary
  attributes of the open web.

  Expected behaviour:

  By default the URL should not be hidden. Because space is constrained
  on the typical devices this browser is used on, the protocol part can
  be omitted by default, as long as the typical lock icon is present for
  HTTPS URL (see attached image). So by default:

      bugs.launchpad.net/canonical-devices-system-image/+filebug

  On touch on the address bar:

      https://bugs.launchpad.net/canonical-devices-system-image/+filebug

  I would recommend following the standard behaviour of modern web
  browsers to emphasize the domain part of the URL in black (with the
  rest of the URL in grey) as well.

  Device: Meizu Pro 5 (OTA 10.2)
