Description Alec Leamas 2013-10-03 07:04:24 UTC

Description of problem: When viewing a manpage named whatever.man yelp displays an empty window and grabs focus. When the window is closed, a new one appears immediately. A virtual terminal  is required to kill yelp.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):yelp-3.8.1-5.fc19.i686


How reproducible: Always


Steps to Reproduce:
$ cp /usr/share/man/man1/ab.1.gz 1
$ uncompress ab.1.gz
$ mv ab.1 ab.man

Actual results:
Empty yelp window, almost impossible to kill as described above.


Expected results:
Manpage displayed.


Additional info:
This is related to bug 1013339: files named e. g., ab.1 is not classified as a manpage by the desktop. Yelp works fine when dosing e. g., 'yelp ab.1', but the desktop will not invoke yelp for such a file classified as text/plain.

OTOH, a file called ab.man has the correct type, but yelp does not work:

$ xdg-mime query filetype ab.man
application/x-troff-man
$ xdg-mime query filetype ab.1
text/plain

Comment 1 Fedora End Of Life 2015-01-09 20:05:51 UTC

This message is a notice that Fedora 19 is now at end of life. Fedora 
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 19. It is 
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no 
longer maintained. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now this bug will
be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '19'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 19 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2015-02-17 17:29:05 UTC

Fedora 19 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-01-06. Fedora 19 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
