Description Joachim Backes 2015-05-06 06:07:47 UTC

Description of problem:

Enter the command "man ruby" for example in a gnome-terminal. Go to the "AUTHORS" section. Then the link in the "See" line will be 

https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/projects/ruby/wiki/Contributors⟩

[including ")"]. You see this if crossing this line with the mouse. The superfluous closing bracket ")" prevents from opening this URL by using the right mouse button with the "Open link" feature of gnome-terminal.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

ruby-2.2.2-11.fc22.x86_64
How reproducible:
always


Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open a gnome-terminal
2.Enter: man ruby and navigate to the "AUTHORS" section, and point with the mouse to the "See" line


Actual results:

The selected URL will be "https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/projects/ruby/wiki/Contributors⟩"
Expected results:
No closing bracket at the line end

Comment 1 Vít Ondruch 2015-05-06 10:27:39 UTC

I don't think I can do anything about this. This seems to be specific to gnome-terminal.

Comment 2 Vít Ondruch 2015-05-06 10:50:40 UTC

It seems that gnome-terminal does not handle escape sequences correctly. These are steps to reproduce

curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ruby/ruby/trunk/man/ruby.1
groff -mdoc -Tutf8 ruby.1 > ruby.out
cat ruby.out

You can see that the link is translated into:

⟨ESC[4mhttps://bugs.ruby-lang.org/projects/ruby/wiki/ContributorsESC[24m⟩

where the escape is not handled correctly for some reason.

BTW if you'd like to see this fixed in gnome-terminal, I'd suggest you to report this issue gnome upstream, since I'm afraid it might get lost in Fedora's Bugzilla.

Comment 3 Vít Ondruch 2015-05-06 10:59:32 UTC

Actually, I went ahead and reported the issue upstream.

Comment 4 Joachim Backes 2015-05-06 11:41:51 UTC

Thank you for forwarding. But I think, it's not only a gnome-terminal problem: same issue with the "/usr/bin/konsole" program (belongs to KDE!)

Comment 5 Vít Ondruch 2015-05-06 12:34:46 UTC

I tried in terminator and it works there. The terminals may share some escape sequence parsing library though. Dunno.

Comment 6 Fedora End Of Life 2016-07-19 14:00:27 UTC

Fedora 22 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-07-19. Fedora 22 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no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further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.
