Description dmr 2002-11-22 06:07:48 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
