Description Stefan Förster 2012-04-29 07:17:30 UTC 
Arch Linux recently upgraded Evolution from 3.2.3 to 3.4.1.

I have three machines running Arch Linux. On two of them, my wife and I use
Evolution under KDE. On the third machine (an older notebook) I use Evolution
under Fluxbox. => This bug appears in all installations, thus it is not window
manager specific.

Single left click on a link in HTML e-mails no longer function properly. I have not figured out under what circumstances it doesn't work, but it fails for most links I have tried so far. Only some links open a web site (btw, I use Firefox), some open after a few minutes, but most of the web sites don't open at all.

On my Fluxbox machine I tested double-clicking. That seems to work.

Right-clicking on the link and choosing "open in browser" also always works.
