I did a bit of investigation, and it appears that revelation uses a gnome.ui.HRef (http://developer.gnome.org/libgnomeui/stable/GnomeHRef.html) to display URLs. It appears that this widget itself is broken, not the way revelation uses it. The following piece of Python code demonstrates the issue:
#!/usr/bin/python import pygtk pygtk.require('2.0') import gtk import gnome.ui if __name__ == '__main__': href = gnome.ui.HRef('http://ubuntu.com', 'Ubuntu') window = gtk.Window(gtk.WINDOW_TOPLEVEL) window.add(href) href.show() window.show() gtk.main() -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/905139 Title: Opening an URL launches the default browser at address "%u" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/revelation/+bug/905139/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
