Bug 55370

If when using QWebView::setUrl() for the first time the URL contains an anchor(ex. #something) then the QWebView will fail to update. For example: int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { QApplication a(argc, argv); QWebView webView; webView.show(); webView.setUrl(QUrl(QString::fromLatin1("http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7/qcombobox.html"))); return a.exec(); } will successfully update the view to display the page, while: int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { QApplication a(argc, argv); QWebView webView; webView.show(); webView.setUrl(QUrl(QString::fromLatin1("http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7/qcombobox.html#itemDelegate"))); return a.exec(); } Will not update the webview at all. Calling QWebView::load(QUrl(QString::fromLatin1("http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7/qcombobox.html#itemDelegate"))); does work however, but the inconsistency of behavior when using anchors with QWebView::setUrl(...) is cause for concernt. Also not that the following also works: int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { QApplication a(argc, argv); QWebView webView; webView.show(); webView.setUrl(QUrl(QString::fromLatin1("http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7/qcombobox.html#itemDelegate"))); webView.setUrl(QUrl(QString::fromLatin1("http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7/qcombobox.html#itemDelegate"))); return a.exec(); } It is worth noting that in FrameLoader::loadWithDocumentLoader(DocumentLoader* loader, FrameLoadType type, PassRefPtr<FormState> prpFormState), WebCore/loader/FrameLoader.cpp:2077 if (shouldScrollToAnchor(isFormSubmission, policyChecker()->loadType(), newURL)) returns true for the first call to setUrl above and false for the second. Also, the Version of Webkit used is the one included with the Qt Master branch
