Description Jacquemin 2013-02-28 07:31:20 UTC

Hyperlinks in PDF cannot be used (or "cliqued"), although they work in other softs like Adobe Reader, no matter what the creator of the pdf doc is (LaTeX and dvi2pdf or dvi2ps and ps2pdf. PDFLaTeX. OpenOffice. LibreOffice...).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a PDF with an "active" hyperlink
2. Clic on the link
3. Nothing happens (and the mouse pointer tries to select text)
Actual Results:  
No résult

Expected Results:  
Opening (or trying to open) a web browser

Works perfectly here, are you sure you are not in text selection mode?

Eeer... I am so stupid! I searched the preferences first, and then Google'd the whole web. I understand I did not find anything... Everybody had the fine working solution... but me.
My apologies!
