From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040312 Epiphany/1.1.12 Description of problem: After using yum to update my FC2T2 install, viewing source in Epiphany launches OpenOffice.org to open the file - which results in not a text description of the source, but in a formatted document. Before running yum to update the OS - it acted correctly, and used a different app (not sure which one) to view the source, as a syntax highlighted text file. My system was updated via yum at aproximately 8 PM PST on 4/1 Mozilla still has the correct behaviour for viewing source. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): epiphany-1.1.12-0 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Launch Epiphany 2. choose "Page Source" from view menu Actual Results: OpenOffice.org word processor starts Expected Results: text display similar to the current behaviour when this is tried in Mozilla Additional info:
Possible solution: Preferences -> Preferred Applications -> Text Editor -> Select an Editor : gedit
It should imho behave the same way that mozilla currently does. But I will try that.
I don't see this problem with Fedora 2 Test 3, which also uses ephiphany 1.1.12 (for me it opens the page in GNOME Edit). Is it possible you have associated OpenOffice.org Writer with HTML (text/html) files? You could confirm this with Menu->Preferences->File types and programs->Documents->WWW->HTML page
I haven't tried in Test 3 - but I hate OO.o (I think it is bloated and buggy - I much prefer the AbiWord/Gnumeric combo) and didn't assign OO.o to anything. Changing the default text editor to gedit did work, there wasn't one set before, so apparently when there is not a default gnome text editor set, for whatever reason Epiphany (but not Mozilla) would use OO.o for the viewing of the source. I'm currently running test2 updated to test3 - I have the test3 iso's, I will have to fresh install and see what it does. I think to properly test I'll have to fresh install on a single partition (so there are no settings brought over from my home directory) - I'll do that, either tonight or next week (tomorrow I go out of town)
Did this get fixed in FC2? It's definitely not a bug in FC3(well, rawhide)
I believe this is an issue of the new MIME system and not having a decent default set. bug 131643 is where this should have been fixed. I'm gonna close this now since it shouldn't be appearing anymore.
