Description Adam Williamson 2014-09-03 14:40:00 UTC

Running Fedora 21:

URLs in xchat-gnome highlight when you mouse over them, but clicking does nothing. If you right-click, a menu appears, which suffers from #83438 , but does work with keyboard interaction (so you can right-click and do keyboard down, enter to open a link).

Comment 1 Michel Dänzer 2014-09-04 07:25:19 UTC

Note that I sometimes have to click URLs in xchat-gnome up to three times before it takes effect, even on Xorg. Third time's the charm, as they say. ;)

Comment 2 Adam Williamson 2014-09-04 10:58:17 UTC

Me too, but this isn't that. They don't work no matter how many times I click. (FWIW, ctrl+click seems rather more reliable than bare click in X11).

Comment 3 Olivier Fourdan 2016-04-07 08:39:45 UTC

Sounds like https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=754983

Basically gtk+ supporting different backends, gio was trying to set the wayland display for X11 apps, which they did not really understand...

Fedora 21 is old now, does it still happen with a current version of gnome/gtk+/glib/mutter/Xwayland/firefox, in a word F24?

Comment 4 Adam Williamson 2016-04-07 14:48:16 UTC

I *think* this was working normally (i.e. it worked if I clicked enough goddamn times) while I was running Wayland on F23. I stopped doing that recently because of https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=758958 , which makes me want to punch things.

Comment 5 Daniel Stone 2018-06-04 07:23:03 UTC

Marking as fixed, please reopen if this isn't the case.

Comment 6 Adam Williamson 2018-06-04 16:27:22 UTC

I've no idea, I switched to hexchat years ago :)
