SUMMARY Gnome Terminal and iTerm2 introduced the support to ANSI escape codes per hyperlinks. Such codes are now adopted by PHP framework Symfony in various components such symfony/console, that is broadly adopted by a lot of other PHP projects. Konsole, at the moment, badly manages such sequences, leaving trailing backslashes. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. printf '\e]8;;http://example.com\e\\This is a link\e]8;;\e\\\n' OBSERVED RESULT \This is a link\ EXPECTED RESULT This is a link In the best case, the text has a dotted underline and the user can Ctrl+Click it to open the link; In the worst case, all ecape codes are completely ignored and only the text is rendered. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Kubuntu 19.04 KDE Plasma Version: 5.15.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.56.0 Qt Version: 5.12.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Sorry, Nicolas Grekas from Symfony team pointed me that this bug could be a duplication of https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=379294 I think that having a full support could be fantastic, but also degrading gracefully should be a viable option.
The backslash appearing is bug 231405.
Franco I've just tested your printf line on current konsole from git master and cannot reproduce the issue, can you please confirm it is resolved.
