“Open all external links in a new tab” option does not work for protocol agnostic links

This is easy to reproduce now.

http://try.discourse.org/t/open-links-in-external-window-test/344

It is because the first two links are using protocol agnostic URLs, they do not start with http: or https: and instead start with //

try.discourse.org is temporary, so here is the code to reproduce the issue

Leaving this open for a bit to keep track of the spots open links in new tabs is not working.

I can’t know if your post did include sarcasm but, FTR, if you had read carefully my bad english, this bug was presented in the two deleted topics. :slight_smile:

Now can you tell me where the history plugin bug tracker is, so I can report the second bug improvement?

Il ne s’agit pas d’un plugin, mais d’une fonctionnalité intégrée au cœur du système. Vous pouvez signaler les bugs (avec des étapes de reproduction détaillées) ici, dans la catégorie Contribute > Bug :wink:

Sorry this topic was left open incorrectly.
