RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.
Description of problem:
Hyperlinks in calendar reminder description can not be clicked
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
evolution-3.12.11-15.el7.x86_64
How reproducible:
Every time a link is in the description of a reminder
Steps to Reproduce:
1. create a appointment with a hyperlink inside the description
2. wait for the reminder to appear
Actual results:
link in the description is blue and underlined as looking like a link, but can not be clicked (nothing happens)
Expected results:
clicking the link should open it in the default browser
Additional info:
Thanks for a bug report. As far as I can tell, the link can be clicked, if the Ctrl key is pressed down too. It is also described in a tooltip, if you keep the mouse cursor above the link for a little period of time.
Could you retest, please?
This indeed works. Seems I never kept the mouse long enough over the link.
Is there a reason why the link is not just clickable and needs the Ctrl key pressed? I would have thought a changing muse cursor would appear so I can click it, but not to actually press a additional key.
I heard several other users saying, that it would be great if the links were clickable, so it seems more people are missing this.
The idea is that the users would primarily copy the text elsewhere, than to click on the links. Having "open link on click" would make it hard to select the URL text. It is also consistent with the editors, where the Ctrl key is required to be able to verify the written down link.
