Description John Brodie 2010-06-03 18:31:06 UTC 
Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.4.3) 
OS:                Linux

Using notify-send, notifications which include hyperlinks do not launch the web browser.  Have tried with the default browser set to both Konquerer and SwiftFox.  The cursor also does not reliably switch to the "hand" cursor, although the link does appear properly (blue text, underlined, with the right text). 

This is reproducible every time using libnotify-bin version: 0.4.5-1 on Debian Squeeze.  If any additional information is needed, please let me know and I'll do my best to provide it.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
notify-send test "<a href=http://www.example.com>this should be clickable</a>" (with libnotify1 and libnotify-bin (and all dependencies) installed).

Actual Results:  
A hyperlink appears, which seems to be properly formed, but is not clickable, with cursor change not always happening on hover.

Expected Results:  
Should reliably change cursor and, on click, launch browser.

Forum post with developer stating the same behavior for him: http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=64&t=88226&p=160169#p160150

I can confirm this on 4.4.4, Debian Unstable.

The mouse cursor actually changes to hand when moved over the link for the second time.
