GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 99257
%s variable not passed correctly
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
Description of Problem: %s variable is often passed as a literal on ctrl-leftclick for URL following. There are several other "quote" methods that Mozilla accepts and those don't work either. Steps to reproduce the problem: 1.Defining the browser as "mozilla %s" or "gnome-moz-remote --newwin %s" works. However, "mozilla --remote "openURL(%s,new-tab)"" or "gnome-moz-remote --remote="openURL(%s,new-tab)"" does not. 2. 3. Actual Results: URL is sent as literal "%s" Expected Results: Actual URL should be passed. How often does this happen? Always. Additional Information: I will put a "--newtab" function that passes the netscape/mozilla/opera syntax in if you like.
This is all done in libgnome
