Description Peter Gückel 2008-05-17 04:23:44 UTC
Description of problem:
When one right-clicks a hyperlink in an email, klipper opens a contect menu,
offering to open the link in firefox. Selection this, however, does absolutely
nothing. Right-clicking a link in akregator also opens a context menu, one entry
being open in external browser. In this case, firefox opens (a new window, if
one is already open), and the link is opened in two tabs simultaneously.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
it is a component of kde-4.0.4

How reproducible:
It always happens.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Right-click on a link and select one of the aforementioned options in the
context menu.
2.If link is in an email, klipper takes over and nothing happens.
3.If link is in akregator, a browser window opens and the link is opened twice.
  
Actual results:
As described.

Expected results:
Firefox should open a window and the link should open in one tab (not two). If
firefox is already open, a new tab in the existing window should be used.

Additional info:
None comes to mind.

Klipper is in kdebase-workspace.

Comment 2 Steven M. Parrish 2008-05-17 21:20:45 UTC
Checked upstream and could not find a matching bug report.  Please file upstream
at bugs.kde.org and update this report with the information.  Will monitor the
upstream report for updates.

Comment 3 Kevin Kofler 2008-05-18 02:49:44 UTC
Yeah, but which upstream? How can we be sure it's not Firefox's fault?

Comment 4 Rex Dieter 2008-05-18 14:07:57 UTC
I can confirm the problem.  Wierd thing is... it was working just fine for me
until *very* recently. ??

Comment 5 Than Ngo 2008-05-21 12:17:58 UTC
it's fixed in kdebase-workspace-4.0.4-5.fc9, could you please try test the new  
package? thanks

Comment 6 Rex Dieter 2008-05-21 12:52:28 UTC
Initial tests aren't good, all I'm seeing is klipper crashing.

Comment 7 Rex Dieter 2008-05-21 13:04:50 UTC
More info:
select URL
klipper pops up: select open in firefox
nothing seems to happen (?)
select open in firefox again
crash

Comment 8 Than Ngo 2008-05-21 13:31:39 UTC
could you please make sure that your local setting klipperrc is removed before 
you test it? It works fine for me here. i cannor reproduce this problem with 
the new package

Comment 9 Rex Dieter 2008-05-21 13:53:24 UTC
did the trick! thx, though I had to (re)enable "Actions Enabled" option, which
defaulted to off.
