GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 160012
target="_blank" for externally displayed data leaves blank window
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
Open a web page where there's some link with target="_blank" for some data which is not viewable internally in Galeon but requires some external viewer. For example, pdf with no pdf plugin installed. Click the link. Galeon will open a new Galeon window, ask to open the file, and then pops up another window, this time the external viewer. The empty Galeon window will remain haunting the desktop. Galeon should defer opening a new window until it knows whether the arriving data is displayable internally or not. Failing that, it should at least clean up excess windows as soon as it figures it out.
Oh yeah, an example page: http://www.helsinki.fi/kksc/opetus/index.html See the "Opinto-opas (pdf)" link on the left. Never mind the Finnish ;)
