I am using Leopard, and no links of any kind are left clickable for

For example on the file http://tobi.oetiker.ch/lshort/lshort.pdf.
I just tried an older version of Skim, same problem.
I have no problem with any link (either internal or external) in that
file. MacOSX 10.5.4 on a PB.
BTW, all the links in this file are of types handled by PDFKit. Skim
only handles links to locations inside another PDF file (because
PDFKit doesn't handle those).
I can confirm they work in previewer and acrobat.
Are you sure they work in Preview? Skim and Preview both use exactly
the same PDFKit framework to handle these links. Unless of course
there is a bug (perhaps in some systems) that Apple knows about and
has explicitly worked around in Preview.
Should I try to reinstall something, perhaps the PDFKit?
You can't reinstall PDFKit, it is part of the system.

First of all: links are mostly handeled by Apple's PDFKit. Moreover,
PDF has many different types of links (and I don't just mean
internal or external). For example, you can get different types of
links depending in the package and/or precise command you use. Alos,
are you running Tiger or Leopard? I know that PDFKit on Tiger cannot
handle certain types of links. The various types of links work
correctly for me (on Leopard).

I agree that would certainly be very logical :) Perhaps my
installation of Skim is broken.
Could anyone confirm that left clicking jumps to an external link?

That's a variant of Skim's Snapshot feature, to have a static view of
a section of the PDF. It is not meant as a general "follow this link"
action.

uhmm, click the link perhaps, as in other viewers? And if you want to
go back, why not hit Back (cmd-[) after that?
