Description Ray Holme 2013-03-20 13:13:28 UTC 
Explicit visible links (http://....) or hidden links in a mailgram (button) do not work at all. Under the prior release of evolution, firefox and fedora 16, all worked fine. Double clicking on these links does nothing except highlight so I can see I clicked it (same as single click would do).

I have not changed any configuration things for either firefox or evolution.

I have looked hard to find a preference in both products to find some preference configuration object that looks like it would effect this - all to no avail.

I have re-installed both evolution and firefox using yum. No changes.

I am running the most recent updates from yum possible (3/16/2013).

This problem has persisted since I installed fedora 18 - about a month ago.

It is possible that this is a firefox problem, but my bet is that it is evolution so I am recording it here.

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug.
This particular bug has already been reported into our bug tracking system, but we are happy to tell you that the problem has already been fixed. It should be solved in the next software version. You may want to check for a software upgrade.

Ah! Thanks, it is not me. Rather than saying next release, can you be explicit?

I have 3.6.4 patched 3/16.

GOOD - finally works - thanks
