2735672 - Encoded URL is shown in address bar when typing URL with double-byte character in Multi Desktop Full Screen for Chrome application

Symptom

  • Encoded URL is shown in address bar when typing URL with double-byte character in Multi Desktop Full Screen for Chrome application
  • In Chrome, the URL will still be kept as original double-byte characters in address bar

Environment

  • SAP Digital Boardroom
  • Multi Desktop Full Screen for Chrome application

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Download and install Multi Desktop Fullscreen for Chrome from https://github.com/SAP/digitalboardroom-multidesktop-fullscreen-chrome, which is used to show SAP Digital Boardroom in full-screen on multiple monitors.
  2. Run the Multi Desktop Full Screen for Chrome application.
  3. Type one of the following URLs with double-byte characters into address bar.
    • Example in Chinese: https://www.google.com/search?q=中国
    • Example in Japanese: https://www.google.com/search?q=日本
    • Example in Korea: http://www.naver.com?aaa=국내
  4. The page could be shown correctly but the URL will be encoded into:
    • Encoded URL for Chinese: https://www.google.com/search?q=%E6%97%A5%E6%9C%AC
    • Encoded URL for Japanese: https://www.google.com/search?q=%E4%B8%AD%E5%9B%BD
    • Encoded URL for Korea: https://www.naver.com/?aaa=%EA%B5%AD%EB%82%B4

Cause

  • This is by-design.
  • The design of the multiscreen extension is for use in full-screen mode, spanning multiple screens.
  • The URL is intended to work consistently, but just not be easily human readable.

Resolution

  • This is by-design.
