Description Friedrich W. H. Kossebau 2017-05-23 16:25:45 UTC

Since the change to QtWebEngine the documentation browser history ignores any links navigated to by activating them e.g. by mouse clicks.

By what I found for now seems https://cgit.kde.org/kdevelop.git/commit/?id=8a1536caf85f402d6d1c2d6cb00b0b94d34196bb broke this by removing
QObject::connect(view, &StandardDocumentationView::linkClicked, this, &QtHelpDocumentation::jumpedTo); but without ensuring a proper replacement in the new design (apol: "now we are delegating links", "the view is navigating wherever it goes").

When fixing this bug, all the still existing jumpedTo() methods possibly should be removed then as well, given they seem no longer called by anything.

Comment 1 Piotr Mierzwinski 2017-10-12 22:17:12 UTC

I'm not sure if this is related, but in version 5.1.80, and coming from 5.2 branch (nightly build) doesn't work any links in Qt5 documentation (clicked by LMB). Or in other words. Doesn't work navigation in opened documentation for Qt5.

Tested on KDevelop-git-x86_64.AppImage and KDevelop-5.1.80-x86_64.AppImage (downloaded at 2017-10-11) accordingly.

And second thing is not readable ComboBox at left side of edit field. I mean after I find, for example, documentation for QPlainTextEdit I see there "QtWidget", when I open this Combo I see very short strings looking like: 
"q..d"
"q..s"
"q..p"
etc.

And third thing.
Continue previous case. When I click on "Home" button, it moves me to Qt Widgets - I see only one entry in tree view, I mean: Qt Widgets", whereas I expected it will move me to "QtHelp Home Page". Workaround is choosing  from Combo (showing QtWidget) last item with name "Q..p", which moves me to actual "QtHelp Home Page".
