Description Ka-Hing Cheung 2006-10-30 18:26:03 UTC
Please describe the problem:
In an email I received, there's this link:

http://bugzilla.nbttech.com/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?emailassigned_to1=1&emailtype1=substring&email1=gnguyen&product=sport&product=sport&product=CMC&product=CMC&product=Interceptor&product=rcu standalone&chfield=resolution&chfieldfrom=2006-10-23&chfieldto=2006-10-31&chfieldvalue=FIXED

As you can (maybe hard to) see, there's a space between rcu and standalone.

Right click and copy the link copied the whole link, but clicking on the link results in 2 different links being opened.

Steps to reproduce:
1. send a html email with the above link
2. click on it
3. 


Actual results:
Two links are opened (firefox opened 2 tabs), one for:

http://bugzilla.nbttech.com/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?emailassigned_to1=1&emailtype1=substring&email1=gnguyen&product=sport&product=sport&product=CMC&product=CMC&product=Interceptor&product=rcu

and one for:

standalone&chfield=resolution&chfieldfrom=2006-10-23&chfieldto=2006-10-31&chfieldvalue=FIXED


Expected results:
The whole URL is opened, just like right click and copy

Does this happen every time?
Yes

Since version 3.6, Evolution uses WebKit instead of GtkHtml for displaying messages. (And for completeness, Evolution 3.14 is planned to use WebKit also for composing and editing messages so GtkHtml will not receive any fixes anymore.)

Hence I am closing this GtkHtml rendering bug report.
We are sorry that your request was not handled in time when it was reported but unfortunately manpower is very limited (and does not allow testing every single reported issue separately again either).

Please feel free to reopen this report (and move it to the "Evolution" product and the "Mail" component) if the problem described in this bug report still happens in a recent supported Evolution version which uses WebKit (the current stable Evolution version is 3.12).
