GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 584156
ftp links with underscore in username are broken
Last modified: 2014-12-02 01:06:32 UTC
Description: Ftp links containing username and password like ftp://user:password@ftp.domain.com are not displayed as one clickable link if the username contains the sign '_' (underscore). Current behaviour: The link is splited into two parts. Both of them are useless. The first link ends before the first underscore in the username. The second goes from ':' to the end. Expected behaviour: One clickable link for the entire url. How to reproduce: 1. Set Edit > Preferences > Mail Preferences > HTML Messages > Plain Text Mode to "Prefer plain" or "Only ever show plain" 2. Send a plain text email to you self. the body contains ftp://u_ser:password@ftp.domain.com 3. You should now receive a email with the wrong formatted link. Affected Software: Evolution 2.26.1 on Ubuntu 9.04 Package evolution in Version 2.26.1-Oubuntu1 ProblemType: Bug Architecture: i386 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 9.04 ExecutablePath: /usr/bin/evolution NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia Package: evolution 2.26.1-0ubuntu1 ProcEnviron: LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: evolution Uname: Linux 2.6.28-11-generic i686 This bug was reported in Ubuntu Launchpad Link: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution/+bug/381105
There is another bug registred where special characters are breaking http links. Link: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution/+bug/379942 Is that bug considered a duplicate of this one, or should I open another bug report for it? Chris
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).
