URLs don't open in an external browser in Plasma 6

[hendrikiseke1979]

Describe the bug
Since the latest Plasma Update in Debian Sid, external URLs won't open in the system's default browser (in my case Firefox) window anymore. The Not-Allowed cursor shorty flashes and the debug console writes:

08:51:48.380 › Requesting to open 'https://some.link'

but nothing happens. Internal links to other channels seem to work fine.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Find a message with an external URL
2. Click on the URL

Expected behavior
The link opens in your default browser in a new tab.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• Debian Sid, KDE Plasma 6.2.3, Wayland
• teams-for-linux 1.12.1, Debian package

If I can help out with more information, please let me know.

Hello @hendrikiseke1979, thanks for reporting.

Can you check if this doesn't happen in the latest stable version ? (1.11.5) To see if this is a new issue due the electron upgrade or if it is something else.

It might also be related to apparmour blocking the request. See if you can check this #1426 (comment)

Let me know how you get on.

Hi @IsmaelMartinez,

after trying v1.11.5 with no success, I kept digging around a little. Found out, that teams-for-linux uses xdg-open to open URLs in the browser, which is currently broken in Debian SID.

Closing this, thanks anyway and sorry for the fuzz.

no problem! Hope they sort it soon.
