Long URLs can't be scrolled reliably

[mnalis]

When ICSx5 handles a long URL, it can not be reliably scrolled (and edited) but gets stuck before end of URL is reached. Here is video:

ICSx5 2.2.6 from F-droid on Android 14.

Suggestion: make the line auto-expand to multiple lanes if URL is ling, like explained with video e.g. here: commons-app/apps-android-commons#6172

Hi, if you have launched the URL from DAVx⁵, there was a bug which prevented loading the full address into ICSx⁵. It has been fixed in v2.2.7, and it's currently in beta testing, it will be released shortly.

The other option is to write the URL manually.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Thanks. While I'm aware of #500 (and will try out 2.2.7 to confirm as soon as it is available on F-droid), I do not think this bug is related. See below why.

The other option is to write the URL manually.

The issue also appears when copy/pasting (or indeed writing from scratch) URL manually. It is not related to URL content (which is still available fully e.g. if one has keyboard with arrows) but instead is about only UI issue where one cannot scroll (by dragging that blue teardrop icon) alongside that single-line field when inputted URL is longer than one line.

Here is example of bug in 2.2.7 with manually specified URL:

Note at 00:06 how dragging the blue teardrop to the far left does not result in scrolling towards the beginning of the URL? It should, like it does in e.g. (random example) here in the Commons app (notice how at 00:04 dragging the teardrop to the far left scrolls the text toward beginning, and at 00:05 dragging the teardrop to the far right scrolls the text toward the end):

small_Screen_Recording_20250216_224701_Commons.mp4

So that UI bug should be fixed, or even better UI replaced with dynamically-sized multiline-support, like in the video below (should be simple change of property to android:inputType="textMultiLine" which results in this (IMHO much more usable) UI:

I agree. Tracked in #515
