Description Dan 2008-08-31 16:25:42 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
I create links to bug reports on my desktop, and they fail to link back

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open up this very bug report with firefox
2. Move mouse to the address bar, and drag the icon to the desktop, inorder to create a link
3. Double click the link, and a page will open in firefox missing everything and including the '?'


Actual results:
I don't get to the webpage that I linked to

Expected results:
It would go

Does this happen every time?
any time there is a '?' character in the url

Note, that I think this bug exists in the same way on both hardy and intrepid of ubuntu, but right now, I am testing on intrepid.

But for sure, this problem exists in Hardy Heron Ubuntu.
Comment 4 Allan Day 2008-08-31 21:48:23 UTC 
Confirmed. I can reproduce this on GNOME 2.22.3 (Ubuntu Hardy 8.04).

Thanks for the report, Dan.
Comment 5 Vincent Untz 2008-08-31 23:02:08 UTC 
Nautilus (or gio?) bug, I'd say. It works fine in the panel.
