Description Olivier Vitrat 2007-11-02 19:52:45 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.7)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

Reported in Debian BTS at http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=444086
When attempting to raise a (usually) right-click context menu on links
using target="_new" or target="_blank" hrefs (to force opening in a new
tab/window) or mailto links, the right-click context menu is disabled.

Instead, the cursor is modified to a hand + new page mini-icon.

This behavior does not appear to be user-defineable, or based on
javascript.  Following HTML sample reproduces the problem:

   - save to file
   - view file in konqueror
   - right-click the "No Menu" link
   - No context menu appears (preference is that context menu appears).

   - right-click on "Menu" link
   - Context menu appears (this is expected behavior).

   - right-click on "No menu mailto" link
   - No context menu appears (preference is that context menu appears).


I'd appreciate if Konqueror would *NOT* disable right-click context
menus, particularly where web authors explicitly state behavior, as the
*user* should be able to specify preferred methods of managing content,
not arbitrary site authors.


Thanks.

Olivier, do you still have this problem? I get the context menu on right-click for all three links in 3.5.10, 4.1.2 (Kubuntu) and trunk.

I'll close this report because it still works fine for me in Konqueror 4.2.0.
