Description raditzman 2005-06-12 07:45:38 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.4.1)
Installed from:    Unlisted Binary Package
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.5 (Debian 1:3.3.5-8ubuntu2)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.10-5-686

Clicking a link inside an article tab in akregator, which the status bar says will open in a new window, doesn't open at all.
Comment 1 raditzman 2005-06-12 07:48:17 UTC
The only way to open these kinds of links is by right-clicking on them and choosing "open in new tab" from the context menu.

Also, middle-clicking doesn't work either
Comment 2 Eckhart Wörner 2005-06-16 22:47:42 UTC
I can reproduce that bug, but I can't reproduce why you classified it as "crash".
Comment 3 raditzman 2005-06-17 19:23:17 UTC
Sorry, my mistake....
Comment 4 paul 2005-06-21 17:48:28 UTC
Links that open files/resources in other applications do not work either. When clicking on the link, the usual open dialogue appears and if the "Open with ..." button is pressed (eg. "Open with 'Kate'), Akregator just sits there with its "stop" button enabled and with the loading status at 0%.

Doing a right-click and opening such links in new tabs or in browser windows can be used to work around this. Note that this appears unrelated to JavaScript pop-up behaviour as described in bug #103076.

Paul: That's the next bug, bug #107257.

Happens here with akregator 1.2.2 (KDE 3.5.2), please reopen.
Links with new window target do nothing. I can open them manually with right click/new tab or external browser, or middle click to external browser, but left click do nothing... It should open new tab (preferably) or in the same tab. Setting konqueror to open popups in new tab has no effect here.
Comment 8 Vlastimil Babka (Caster) 2006-06-20 00:09:39 UTC
Still not fixed in 1.2.3 (KDE 3.5.3) can someone reopen this or I have to fill new bug?

I'm running Akregator 1.3.1 (KDE 4.1.2) and I still have some issues with this. There's two different things here:

1) if you double click on an article then akregator opens the link in the external browser even though I have the settings in "Configuration-->Browser" that "left-click" should open a tab. I think that's a bug.
2) the other thing is clicking the link "Complete Story" inside the message box below. It generally opens the link in a new tab, good. But I have, strangely enough, one feed where that does not work and that is the cairo-dock feed
http://www.cairo-dock.org/rss/bg_messages.xml

Right-clicking on links and choosing "Open in Tab" always works, but there are still some problems with the left-clicks (on links).

I just noticed that this is a REALLY old bug, but I still think it should be reopened. The corresponding bug from launchpad is https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdepim/+bug/119416
Comment 11 Alex Merry 2011-10-03 17:06:10 UTC
1.  This is an unrelated issue.  Please open a separate bug report if it still happens.

2. That feed doesn't seem to exist any more, so I can't test it.  Do you have another example it happens with?
Comment 12 Alex Merry 2013-01-11 19:42:25 UTC
Unable to reproduce, and the person who reopened it is not responding.
