There's now a proposed patch for this problem. (Milan Crha 18/10). Any chance of testing this and getting it adopted quickly if it works? This is exactly the kind of bug that is confusing and disturbing to 'average users' but too easy for geeks to say "Just edit the html tag out in the address bar, Luser". Which doesn't help Linux advocacy. We're already stuck with enough (legal) problems getting people's MP3s and DVD movies to play...
I also notice that in the body of emails from eBay the item names (clickable links) also display the same symptom, with ampersands expanded to & Likely the same underlying problem is causing this as well, and only cosmetic, but worth checking that the proposed fix addresses this too. If it doesn't, then something is still hiding there ready to bite us! -- evolution: URLs with ampersand ("&") don't work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/149964 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
