Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 1014936
viewing *.man file locks desktop
Last modified: 2015-02-17 12:29:05 EST
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
