Ah, thanks a lot for tracking this down. Apport does nothing else than subprocess.call(['gnome-open', url])
thus apport does not do any quoting at all. So it seems that gnome-open itself does the double-quoting. I guess this affects opening other URLs as well. ** Changed in: apport (Ubuntu) Sourcepackagename: apport => libgnome Importance: Undecided => High Status: Needs Info => Confirmed -- [feisty] apport-gtk is opening a wrong URL https://launchpad.net/bugs/83974 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
