Package: conkeror
Version: 0.9.3+git110719-1
Severity: wishlist
Hi there!
As the title says, IMHO it is a bug that --help is always recognized as
an option, even when it is the last argument:
=====
luca@gismo:~$ conkeror http://www.pca.it --help
Usage: /usr/lib/xulrunner-6.0/xulrunner-bin [ options ... ] [URL]
where options include:
X11 options
--display=DISPLAY X display to use
--sync Make X calls synchronous
--g-fatal-warnings Make all warnings fatal
conkeror options
-h or -help Print this message.
-v or -version Print conkeror version.
-P <profile> Start with <profile>.
-migration Start with migration wizard.
-ProfileManager Start with ProfileManager.
-no-remote Open new instance, not a new window in running instance.
-UILocale <locale> Start with <locale> resources as UI Locale.
-safe-mode Disables extensions and themes for this session.
-jsconsole Open the Error console.
luca@gismo:~$
=====
Please note that the same happens with iceweasel, so I guess this is
something inherited from there (I have not reported a similar bug,
though). Feel free to close this bug as wontfix, I wanted to document
that.
Thx, bye,
Gismo / Luca

Well, I found this (common) behavior *completely* broken, given that
again the manual says `PROGRAM [OPTIONS] [FILE]`.
Nevermind, closing the bug since there is no point in leaving it open.
Thx, bye,
