Bug#564263: epiphany-webkit: fails to trim whitespace at the end of the URL

[Alvaro Herrera]

Package: epiphany-webkit
Version: 2.29.3-1
Severity: important


If I paste an URL from another window (say, an xterm), and that URL
contains whitespace at the end, epiphany-webkit does not trim it,
normally resulting in error 404.  I have to manually remove the
whitespace to get to the site.

This is a annoying because

1. all other browsers I know trim trailing whitespace, and

2. since I run mutt inside screen inside an xterm, I get plenty of
trailing whitespace when pasting.
