Description Thomas Pfeiffer 2011-12-02 19:31:41 UTC 
Version:           unspecified (using Devel) 
OS:                Linux

In the about app some names are hyperlinked. When I tap one of them, the tab displays the corresponding page.
Now there is no way to get back to the tab's original content.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Open the about app
Tap e.g. "Plasma Active" on the "About" tab

Actual Results:  
The Plasma Active Wiki page is displayed with no way to go back

Expected Results:  
I have a button to go back to the original content or it gets back when I tap the tab again

Open non-local URLs in browser instead of about app

The attached patch solves this problem by opening links in browser app instead of in the about app. I think that is a better solution since the user can use share-like-connect and bookmarks when browsing external links.

I have not commited the change yet because I am investigating a way to stop URL loading without using back.trigger() and a way to convert QML's url type to string without using a temporary string property.

Open links in external browser instead of loading then in about app's
WebView.
