Description Antonio Rojas 2013-01-10 10:33:58 UTC
Using latest git master. The option "open links in new tab instead of new window" is active in konqueror. Some links open in a new window rather than in a new tab, when using QtWebkit 2.3. It works fine with QtWebkit 2.2.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Open Google Reader in konqueror with kwebkitpart, click on a news item headline

Actual Results:  
The link opens in a new window

Expected Results:  
The link opens in a new tab

I am aware of this issue and will be investigating it shortly. The same thing happens in gmail as well.

Git commit d786bbdcb48634777809461b4900ab309b9f690f by Dawit Alemayehu.
Committed on 23/02/2013 at 17:27.
Pushed by adawit into branch '1.3'.

Workaround QtWebKit 2.3's behavior change when emitting 'QWebPage::geometryChangeRequested'.
For some reason it now sends a default width and height of 100 on new window creation even
when the site did not specify those dimensions.

NOTE: This workaround will cause a regression if a site attempts to create a popup window
using Javascripts with the following parameters: x=0,y=0,width=100,height=100. Under that
circumstance, the window will end up being created as another tab in konqueror instead of
a popup window.
FIXED-IN: 1.3 branch

There is a patch for that, that will go into QtWebKit 2.3 soon.

Great. I revert the workaround commit once 2.3 is released. Thanks.

per comment #6, qtwebkit-2.3.0 (and 2.3.1) have been released in the meantime, so time to revert?  (I see it not reverted yet, at least in kwebkitpart 1.3 branch)

Reverted commit d786bbdc which was a workaround for behavior change in
QtWebKit 2.3 beta releases. The issue has been corrected in the final
QtWebKit 2.3 release.
