GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 590119
Nothing happens when clicking on recognized link in window
Last modified: 2014-10-24 20:50:23 UTC
Please describe the problem: When moving the mouse over a recognized link in the terminal window, it gets underlined as expected but when left-clicking, nothing happens. Steps to reproduce: Ubuntu 9.04 && see above Actual results: nothing Expected results: Depending on the link, e.g. the URL being opened in a new tab in my browser. Does this happen every time? sure Other information: I have only a single browser installed and will not change that. I assume the action is either an undocumented configuration option or even hardcoded in hotssh. Am I supposed to RTSL?
You have to control-click. This behavior comes from gnome-terminal; perhaps the idea is to avoid accidentally triggering a URL when you want to select for copy&paste?
Nice try, I admit my report wasn't complete right click on URL select Open URL from context menu nothing happens btw: am I supposed to guess ctrl-click with absolutely no documentation? Even /usr/share/doc/hotssh/* is useless from an user's POV. Siggy ps. I'm pissed off by not being able to provide further info by email whatever arguments you may have. For me bugzilla is simply unusable.
Using RTSL I found out that hotssh imports webbrowser from hotwire.externals. Running on Ubuntu, this mandates a dependency on hotwire, which isn't declared in the package. Thus this is a packaging bug, after installing the hotwire package, things work as expected. I'll report this to Ubuntu Launchpad, mentioning Bugzilla 590119. This is my first and last bugreport to Bugzilla as long as you don't implement an email interface (borough from Debian BTS).
That's a bug, hotssh shouldn't depend on hotwire. Fixed: commit 063b5356efb6abb29831c6af030cb87000396fcb Author: Colin Walters <walters@verbum.org> Date: Wed Jul 29 14:30:23 2009 -0400 Bug 590119 - Unconditially import webbrowser for url opening This makes us depend on a recent version of Python, but that's not a big deal since hotssh is targeted for Linux.
