Description of problem: Clicking on hyperlinks in evince does not always work: evince seems to add encoding to the URL, breaking it. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): evince-0.6.0-8.el5 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create two hyperlinks: <para> <ulink url="https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=472986">https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=472986</ulink> </para> <para> <ulink url="https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=472986"/> </para> Actual results: In both cases, when clicking the hyperlink in evince, Firefox opens, displaying the following URL in the address bar: <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi%3Fid=472986 (note: %3 instead of ?) Expected results: <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=472986> Additional info: * the above links work as expected in evince-2.24.1-3.fc10.i386 and acroread-8.1.2.SU1-2.el5 * see attached for testing PDF (navigate to page 9). * the following link works correctly in evince as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2 and Fedora 10: <ulink url="https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi?product=Fedora&version=1&component=publican">https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi?product=Fedora&version=rawhide&component=publican</ulink>
Created attachment 326103 [details] PDF with URLs as per the bug
Apologies for the way the PDF is attached. I did not want to spam everyone trying to get it right.
right clicking and selecting "Copy Link Address" works in all cases.
this also happens with # in URLs, replaced with %23 eg. http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/jboss/jboss-eap-4.3/doc/Server_Configuration_Guide/html-single/index.html#Using_JBoss_Login_Modules-Password_Hashing
