[Bug 1221824] Re: External links in webapps do not allow returning to the webapp

 

This bug was fixed in the package webbrowser-app -
0.22+13.10.20131004.1-0ubuntu1

---------------
webbrowser-app (0.22+13.10.20131004.1-0ubuntu1) saucy; urgency=low

  [ Alexandre Abreu ]
  * Harden the set of accepted url patterns. (LP: #1226690)
  * When the browser is requested to create a new tab (from a new window
    request), open the new tab externally when in webapp mode. (LP:
    #1221824)

  [ Robert Bruce Park ]
  * Enable hardening, and fix some lintian warnings.

  [ Olivier Tilloy ]
  * Use a different port for the test server when a zombie process
    doesn’t release the default one, and use cleanup functions instead
    of tearDown() for improved robustness. (LP: #1231492)
  * Live bookmarking functionality in the activity view. Known
    shortcoming: in the activity view, one should be allowed to bookmark
    a domain that contains only one page. This is currently not the
    case, it will be addressed separately.
  * Expose a single contextual menu for both images and hyperlinks. (LP:
    #1233282)

  [ Ubuntu daily release ]
  * Automatic snapshot from revision 367
