This isn't to say that setting them can't have side-effects, but when you explicitly set a property in QML it should change immediately (if it was not already set to that value) and it should remain set to that value until you explicitly unset or reset it (in this context, setting a binding counts as an explicit setting and binding reevaluations would thus also count as explicit settings). The url property of webview gets reset when webpage JS redirects you, this is contrary to QML conventions. Upon setting the URL property to something different the urlChanged signal should fire once immediately and only once until you set it again. I'm going to hazard a guess that the url property behaves like this because it is trying to be both the desired and actual URL. These should be separate properties, the url property could be the requested URL, which changes the URL loaded when set, and there should be a separate read-only property for loadedUrl, which may take some time to change after setting the url property. It might then change a lot due to all the random redirections webpages have these days. 610480 1 hausmann 2012-04-26 03:48:38 -0700 The last fix of bug #77554 covers exactly this issue, making sure that after setting the url property in QML it is changed _immediately_. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 77554 ***
