Bug#444086: konqueror: Right-click context menus missing on target=blank & mailto links
Package: konqueror
Version: 4:3.5.7-3
Severity: wishlist
When attempting to raise a (usually) right-click context menu on links
using target="_new" or target="_blank" hrefs (to force opening in a new
tab/window) or mailto links, the right-click context menu is disabled.
Instead, the cursor is modified to a hand + new page mini-icon.
This behavior does not appear to be user-defineable, or based on
javascript. Following HTML sample reproduces the problem:
- save to file
- view file in konqueror
- right-click the "No Menu" link
- No context menu appears (preference is that context menu appears).
- right-click on "Menu" link
- Context menu appears (this is expected behavior).
- right-click on "No menu mailto" link
- No context menu appears (preference is that context menu appears).
I'd appreciate if Konqueror would *NOT* disable right-click context
menus, particularly where web authors explicitly state behavior, as the
*user* should be able to specify preferred methods of managing content,
not arbitrary site authors.
Thanks.
