Description Carlos Rodrigues 2004-07-14 03:46:33 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7)
Gecko/20040626 Firefox/0.9.1

Description of problem:
Gpdf is unable to handle mailto: links. It tries to use "htmlview"
instead of "launchmail", or more correctly "gnome-open".

Clicking on a mailto: link in a PDF pops up an error message stating
that htmlview cannot handle that URI. Clicking on it again crashes Gpdf.


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.open a pdf which has a mailto: link somewhere
2.click on that link (a error dialog appears)
3.click on that link again
    

Actual Results:  Gpdf crashed.

Expected Results:  It should have opened a (in my case) Thunderbird
composer window on the first time (which would have happend if it used
gnome-open instead of htmlview to handle URLs).

Should be fixed in gpdf-2.7.90-2 in rawhide, upstreamed as:
