Title:
[snap] mailto: links don't work in chromium
Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
href="mailto:xyz"; links don't work in the chromium snap package
anymore to open an external email client.
It used to work fine in the non-snap Chromium deb package, before
Ubuntu 19.10.
In settings, if enabling "Allow sites to ask to become default
handlers for protocols (recommended)", it is possible to set Gmail to
be the default mailto handler, which works. But there seems to be no
way to make the chromium snap open Evolution, Thunderbird or other
external programs.
Mailtos work fine in Firefox and chromium-based Brave browser (which
pops up an xdg-open confirmation dialog box when a mailto link is
clicked).
Chromium Version 77.0.3865.120 (Official Build) snap (64-bit)
Ubuntu Budgie 19.10, gnome 3.34.1
