The hotlink within every PDF file is available from all pdf viewers and the viewers all follow the link correctly, launching the correct browser and resolving the link correctly. The same hotlinks in the same documents, while visible within Okular, do not now launch the default browser but shows some other browser which fails to resolve the link, giving a network error. This is new behaviour with this version. Okular never did it before. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. create a pdf file with a small area hotlinked to a local html file 2.open okular to view the pdf file and locate the hot linked area, mouse over to see the URL. 3.click the area and see strange Ubuntu default browser appear showing 'network error'. 4. try with evince and all works fine. Actual Results: cannot view the local html file Expected Results: view the local html file Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Okular 24.02
Please attach a pdf with such a problem.
Resolved: The 'swipe' based Ubuntu 16.04 'web browser' was being used, without permission, in Okular as the primary browser for pdf hot area click resolution. uninstalling the unwanted web browser fixed the issue and returned the Firefox application to the default browser. All 'hot' areas within a pdf now resolve correctly do " sudo apt-get remove browser-app " to eliminate this problem. Brian
Seems a misconfiguration problem.
