| Nov 16, 2017 at 15:36 | comment | added | Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams | Track down the seamonkey .desktop file and see if it invokes a script that uses incorrect quoting. | |
| Nov 16, 2017 at 15:35 | comment | added | bu5hman | In what way? Anything you suggest for me to try? | |
| Nov 16, 2017 at 15:33 | comment | added | Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams | I wonder if it could be an issue related to its .desktop file or startup script... | |
| Nov 16, 2017 at 15:32 | comment | added | bu5hman | Just changed my default browser to firefox and tried again and it works exactly as expected. So it appears to be an xdg-open / seamonkey issue, even though both are mozilla based. | |
| Nov 16, 2017 at 15:26 | comment | added | Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams | It does show there. | |
| Nov 16, 2017 at 15:21 | comment | added | bu5hman | Is the tag in the url in your navigation bar? | |
| Nov 16, 2017 at 15:19 | comment | added | Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams | Can't duplicate. xdg-open "http://example.com/#123" works exactly as expected. | |
| Nov 16, 2017 at 15:18 | comment | added | bu5hman | i have tried escaping (\#) to no joy. if I promote to single quotes then the expansion of the variables doesn't happen and the call fails. The point is that the passed url works perfectly when i call it directly from the script with the double quotes but if I use xdg-open the #tt12345678 component is lost. If xdg-open parses a url then my question question remains ..... can I stop it parsing the argument? | |
