I have discovered a possible reason that fedora 15 is broke, tell me what you think about this theory.. on Fedora 14 the link is gncCustomer:customer=4a7e9dfec733d57457ef444b7339e635# see the "C" ustomer on Fedora 15 the link is gnccustomer:customer=4a7e9dfec733d57457ef444b7339e635# see the "c" ustomer could the browser thing be that picky? I know the command line is, but most dialogs in gnucash pick up both c and C Created attachment 505517 [details]
Trace file with additional information
This trace file shows a critical warning that appears on Fedora 15 a customer link is clicked in the receivable aging report. This warning doesn't appear on Fedora 14.
Since the GnuCash versions on F14 and F15 are essentially the same, it suspect this is actually the result of different WebKit versions:
F14: 1.3.10
F15: 1.4.0

Generated report on F14
This attachment shows the intermediary report that GnuCash generates and is rendered by Webkit on F14.
Created attachment 505519 [details]
Generated report on F15
And this is the intermediary html file generated on F15 for the same report.
Note that for both reports the custom type handler is gncCustomer with a capital C, while the warning in the trace file shows gnccustomer with small c.
It appears that the new version of webkit lowercases the type handlers before passing them back to the GnuCash code to handle.
I'm not sure if this should be dealt with in WebKit or GnuCash.
Thanks for tracking this down some more (and apologies for not getting to it yet). Assigning to webkit for the moment. Could this be possibly related: http://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16409 2011-04-29 "the webkit codebase is chock full of broken case-sensitive URL scheme compares (see FrameLoader.cpp for example). instead of changing all of those comparisons to be case-insensitive, it seems like it would be better to just make KURL normalize the URL scheme to lowercase." "there should be no compatibility problem with this change since URL schemes are case-insensitive." There is also another link to http://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53848 I think GnuCash is a bit sensitive so to speak? @Bill: you're welcome (and no problem) I have fixed this from the GnuCash side by forcing all custom URL handlers to lowercase avoiding any case sensitivity issues (see svn commits r20796 on trunk and r20797 on the 2.4 branch). So this will be fixed with the next GnuCash release.
