Issue about not saving Automatic Proxy Configuration file URL

Problems


I used Automatic Proxy Configuration a lots when working. But I found that it is very annoying that the URL disappear if you untick the box of the protocol of the proxy configuration. This behaviour doesn't acts the same as other protocol to configure, like Web Proxy and Secure Web Proxy. I would like to ask whether it is a bug or it is by design.

Reproduce

  • Go to Network -> Advanced -> Proxies

  • Tick the Automatic Proxy Configuration with a good URL for the Proxy Configuration File

  • Click OK and then Apply in the Network page

  • The Proxy works and after the usage, go back to the same page

  • Untick the Automatic Proxy Configuration and click OK and Apply

  • Go back to the Proxies page

  • (Problem) the URL of Proxy Configuration File disappear

I would like to ask whether it is a bug or it is by design.

In this case if doesn’t matter! Given that the current behaviour is “very annoying”, you should file a bug about it regardless (-:
