Public bug reported: PROBLEM
Using the compiz scale plugin to display all open windows, then clicking on one of those windows, sometimes causes a hyperlink in the clicked-on window to open in the web browser. This is because the mouse cursor is over a hyperlink when the window comes up, and that hyperlink is automatically toggled even though the user did not click on it. AFFECTED APPS THAT I KNOW OF * Evolution * Pidgin * Tomboy HOW TO REPRODUCE 1. Use compiz-config to turn on the scale plugin. 2. Create a Tomboy note filled with hyperlinks. Maximize it to fill the screen. 3. Use scale, and click on the Tomboy note such that your mouse cursor is over a hyperlink. 4. Watch your web browser immediately pop up and take precedence over the note. 5. For proper effect, repeat steps 3-4 several times. EXPECTED BEHAVIOR Hyperlinks will not trigger unless the user wishes them to.
