#1410 mailto: URLs do not open correctly in intenal PDF viewer

[Anonymous]

When defining an author using

\author{Name \href{mailto:name@domain.example}{\texttt{name@domain.example}}

the integrated viewer opens the URL in a way that Thunderbird sends to

///name@domain.example

instead of

name@domain.example

The link works fine in other PDF viewers.

Confirmed on Linux.
Probably a poppler bug. Since it works on win (all TXS versions from 2.5.x to dev), it's more likely linux-related problem than just poppler-version-related.

[Tim Hoffmann]

Poppler does read the url correctly and we pass it to correctly (mailto:name@domain.example) to QDesktopServices::openUrl(url) (PDFDocument l.1003). So it's probably a Qt issue (tested here on Ubuntu Qt 4.8.6).
@Benito: Can you reproduce this as well?

[Benito van der Zander]

@Benito: Can you reproduce this as well?

Works fine here

[Tim Hoffmann]

which Qt and poppler versions are you using?
