Description audard 2001-05-25 17:18:45 UTC
(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***)

Package:           khtml
Version:           KDE 2.1.1 
Severity:          normal
Installed from:    Mandrake RPMs
Compiler:          Not Specified
OS:                Linux
OS/Compiler notes: Not Specified

Hope that the package is correct...

In the KDE Control Center I
added netscape to the HTML viewers
list. I then put it above 
Konqeror in order to make it the
default HTML browser.
When clicking on an icon which is a
link to an HTML page if netscape
was already on all the windows
disappear and one window with
the desired URL is opened.

Normally I think that it should
only create a new window without
closing the other windows.

Sounds like a netscape bug to me. Which version of netscape is it about ?
Which command line do you execute ?

Hi

Let's keep it in Englisch.

I use the netscape 4.77 coming with LM8.0. As explained in the
bug report I only used the KDE Control Center (gui) and changed
the default HTML viewer to netscape.

I then clickede.g. Mandrake Campus and a netscape window is created.
If a netscape was opened from the KDE widget the windows are deleted
and Mandrake Campus appears in a new netscape.
However if a netscape is opened from the shell this netscape is
not bothered at all.

Ok well my netscape.desktop simply has "Exec=netscape %u" that can't
close the opened windows.

"are deleted" looks like a crash to me.

Look for a file named netscape.desktop either in /usr/share/applnk-mdk (if you didn't
disable the mandrake menu otherwise remove the -mdk) or in ~/.kde/share/applnk.
Once you find it look for the Exec= line in it. What does it say ?
