It turns out the format of the phone number in the link is to blame. For
the example business I tested, the link is of the following form:

    <a target="_blank" href="tel://(512) 480-8181">CALL</a>

I initially suspected the _blank target was the problem, but it’s not
(despite the fact that it makes for a bad user experience as it opens a
new blank tab which then opens the dialer).

Not sure whether the problem is in oxide, url-dispatcher or dialer-app,
so I’m adding tasks for all three projects until I can investigate
further.

** Project changed: webbrowser-app => oxide

** Also affects: url-dispatcher

Title:
  Call button in google maps doesn’t open the dialer app

Status in Dialer app for Ubuntu Touch:
  New
Status in Oxide Webview:
  New
Status in URL Dispatcher:
  New

Bug description:
  This is a regression, as this use case used to work.
  Steps to reproduce:

   1) Browse to http://maps.google.com
   2) Search for any business with a phone number (e.g. Hilton Garden Inn in Austin, Texas)
   3) Tap on the bottom ribbon to display more information about the business
   4) Tap the CALL button

  Expected result: the dialer app opens with the business’ phone number
  pre-filled

  Current result: a blank tab opens, nothing seems to happen

  
  Note that this also affects the google maps webapp, but instead of a blank tab the CALL button seems to have no action at all.
