Bug ID: 393055
Summary: command line call with --new-tab opens two tabs rather
than one in already-running instance
Product: Falkon
Version: unspecified
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: now...@gmail.com
Reporter: bozon...@aol.com
Target Milestone: ---
Assuming there is a running instance of falkon, calling from the command line
as follows:
falkon --new-tab http://some/url/or/another
will open two tabs in the already-running instance of falkon (no args to that
instance). The first tab will open on speed dial, the second on the given url
passed to the command line call.
I have falkon set to open speed dial by default:
Preferences->General->Launching->On new tab is set to "Open speed dial"
I am not aware of any other config mods to falkon, but it is possible. Proper
operation would only open one tab on the given url.
I note that firefox, chrome, and other browsers seem to open new tabs from the
command line as expected, without the additional tab. In fact, I call up
firefox from several programs without issue (thunderbird, hexchat, etc) on
several systems.
Please also note that https://github.com/QupZilla/qupzilla/issues/2397 is sort
of related to this, but it is not quite the same. In the case of 2397, it
sounds like there might not be a running instance of the browser. A new
instance (window) typically pulls up a variety of configurations depending on
the browser and/or platform (things like the distro web page, restore session,
etc), so I am leery of saying that these are the exact same issue, though
ultimately they might be caused by the same code.
This is not precisely a show-stopper, but it is major nuisance. I like falkon,
and would like to continue using it, perhaps deploying it around my various
systems as it becomes available and supported. This defect would impede that.
Specifically, here is my environment:
Artix Linux
XFWM4 4.12.4
Qt 5.10.1
linux version 4.14.32-1-lts
