Description Ralph Janke 2008-02-13 00:42:24 UTC 
Version:            4:4.0.1-0ubuntu2 (using KDE 4.0.1)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
OS:                Linux

This is a forwarded report from Kubuntu (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdebase-kde4/+bug/186968):

To reproduce:
 - Open a webpage
 - Middle-click the tab
 - Observe the error-dialog stating: "Protocol not supported"

Note: this only happens if either the clipboard content is no URL, or if it is empty.

Expected behaviour is that an error message does appear, to explain that the clipboard is empty, so one knows why the middle click isn't working. Maybe even check whether the item in the clipboard is a URL at all, and output an appropriate error message if it isn't.
Comment 1 A. Spehr 2009-05-16 23:18:33 UTC 
true in trunk ~4.2.71
Comment 2 FiNeX 2010-08-03 18:05:37 UTC 
Bug confirmed in KDE 4.4.5
Comment 3 David Heijkamp 2011-01-01 20:15:18 UTC 
The problem only occurs when you don't have a default search engine configured under Web Shortcuts. The same behaviour happens when -- without a default search engine configured -- you enter a non-URL in the address bar.

N.B. Checked with KDE SC 4.5.4 / Qt 4.7.1 / Fedora 14.

Git commit b1b13ebbfdde78248297d286ad454b19d08666a0 by Dawit Alemayehu.
Committed on 21/10/2011 at 19:15.
Pushed by adawit into branch 'KDE/4.7'.

- Prevent KonqMisc::konqFilteredURL from reparsing _url when the filtering test fails.
  Since the filtering failure means _url is definitely invalid.

- Prevent both KonqFrameTabs::slotMouseMiddleClick functions from opening a URL when
  it is not valid or is an error URL.
