Description Philip Rodrigues 2005-09-02 00:12:40 UTC
Version:            (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
OS:                FreeBSD

Clicking on a link in a whatsthis help balloon closes the balloon without opening the link. For an example, see the kprinter dialog, and the "additional tags" tab. Click with the whatsthis cursor on the grid to display a whatsthis balloon containing a link ("CUPS user manual"). Click the link and the balloon disappears without opening the link.

In order to get this to work we need need to connect to the clicked() signal provided by the QWhatsThis and do something if it's ! .isEmpty().

KWhatsThis time?

For the record, let's mention that the OU and accessibility people have produced a nice proposal for revamping whatsthis in KDE 4. IIRC, the current situation is that Trolltech are redesigning whatsthis for Qt 4.1 (or 4.2), so we're waiting for that before proceeding.
You can see the proposal at:

Hello,

Can you still reproduce the bug with the latest KDE 4 release?

Thanks.
