Hi, I am wondering if anyone else can reproduce this GNOME bug. I am
running 2.0 GENERIC on i386 with a current pkgsrc as of app. 40h ago.
- gnome 2.6(.2?) packages (from then current pkgsrc): gnome2-terminal URL
capture works fine. That is, putting the mouse pointer over any URL in
a terminal window underlines it and brings up options for opening it
when you right-click the underlined link.
- gnome 2.8.2, gnome 2.8.3 and gnome 2.10.0: URL capture broken as
follows:
http://foo.bar.com -> Not underlined/recognized.
http://foo.bar.com/baz -> Same.
<http://foo.bar.com> -> Recognized, but doesn't work since
the < and > gets included in the URL,
and gnome doesn't know what to do with
"<http:" URLs. Exact error is one window
which says "Could not open the address
"<http://foo.bar.com>": There is no default
action associated with this location." and
another one saying (when you click
"details"): "Bad key or directory name:
"/desktop/gnome/url-handlers/<http/enabled":
`<' is an invalid character in
key/directory names".
<http://foo.bar.com/> -> Not recognized(!).
<http://foo.bar.com/baz> -> Recognized, but again doesn't work.
I am starting to wonder if I somehow have gnome-terminal configuration
pollution from my old 2.6 install (which I afaik never edited manually,
certainly not any gnome-terminal settings -- it just worked) or something.
It's pretty annoying, and gnome-terminal itself works fine on Other
Platforms(tm). Is anyone else seeing or NOT seeing this behaviour? I
assume it's something wrong with my gnome install but I frankly can't see
what.
TIA,
ali
