the "up" button misbehaveth

[Jim Nagel]

The "up" button (normally 5th from left, an upward-pointing triangle, aka
"move up directory tree") I find really useful. A feature Netsurf has
that mainstream browsers don't (as far as I know).

It deletes the tail of the URL back to a "/", and a second click back to
the next "/", etc.

However, its behaviour has been a bit wonky in recent versions of Netsurf.
Sometimes the truncation is back to the middle of something, rather than
back to a "/".

I'm using #4451 on ArmX6 Ro 5.25 and Armini(Beagle) 5.22, but this
misbehaviour began more than a year ago and unforch I can't say exactly
which #.

Anyone see the same?

Not a feature I use to be fair so hadn't noticed this is broken in #4317

UP to

http://timil.com/riscos/

which (correctly) redirects to

http://timil.com/riscos/index/

UP to

403 error

Then repeated use of UP results in partial edits of the URL, as you say.

Huh? That should have been a reload, after it should have encountered the
same redirect again. Just tried and #4085, #3403 have the same problem.

A link on a page to "../" or the delete key in the address bar both work.
