The fix for the bug is in 2 parts: - enabling proper popup handling in the webbrowser-app (and handle catching the creation signals from oxide and creating the proper extra tab), - fixing an issue in Oxide that prevented *in some instances* the signal that requested the new webview corresponding to the navigation to be created NOT to be sent, [Test Case] - Open twitter.com in the webbrowser-app - Try to click on a link in a tweet - Result: it should create a new tab in the webbrowser-app with the content corresponding to the clicked link, [Regression Potential] The fixes are mostly centered around the tab creation and navigation feature in the webbrowser-app. So areas around those would be impacted (in the handling and creation of those in reaction to the user clicking) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/oxide/+bug/1307735/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-webapps-bugs Post to : ubuntu-webapps-bugs@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-webapps-bugs More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
