Bug Description

image: OTA5
device: arale

The current app has a very annoying bug that causes the URL field to be cleared/replaced while you are editing it.

How to reproduce:
1 - Open the web browser app
2 - Before the last page be fully open, Go the URL field and try to input a new value

Expected:
3 - You be able to input the desired url, and go to the new url site

Current:
4 - If you take longer (3-4 secs) to edit the the url it get replaced or sometimes cleared and you need to start write the url again.

OBS: this is easy to reproduce while using a 3g/4g because it take longer to load the last opened page while starting the app.

I can reproduce it 100% or the time.

Just managed to reproduce even when using wifi (although it’s much easier to reproduce on a slow data connection, as pointed out by Renato).
