Issue descriptionUserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/73.0.3642.0 Safari/537.36 Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Go to 'https://jsfiddle.net/q4rtnb79/' or have '<a href="aa://a" target="_blank">click me</a>' on a web page 2. Click on the link What is the expected behavior? What went wrong? When pressing on the link, it opens a new tab with a blank (when in incognito *on desktop*, uses the background colour for that instead) page along with the title 'untitled' (on desktop). If the user goes back to the tab with the link they pressed on, Chrome will not do anything when clicking the hyperlink until they either refresh the page or toggle developer tools (open or close). Did this work before? N/A Chrome version: 73.0.3642.0 Channel: dev OS Version: 10.0 Flash Version: Affects Google Chrome 71.0.3578.98 Stable. Platform known to be affected (by me and someone else): Windows 10 Pro. Dev build of Chrome on 1809 and 1703 for stable (under a virtual machine). This assumes that no program installed (such as WinSCP) is assigned the SFTP scheme, as that would instead bring up a dialogue box requesting to open that program. This is known to also affect Chrome 73.0.3655.0 Canary, Android.

A user using version 70.0.3538.110 (Official Build) (64-bit) on Solus is also affected. In their case, they got a dialogue box involving opening "kdg-open" no matter what random stuff goes before '://'. They then get a blank tab once they dismiss the dialogue box by cancelling (the tab should close automatically instead). Once that happens, if they go to another tab and switch back, the background in the blank tab would have a shade slightly darker than the shade incognito uses (uses the exact incognito shade if done in incognito).

Thanks for filing the issue! Able to reproduce the issue on reported chrome version 73.0.3642.0 and on the latest canary 73.0.3655.0 using Mac 10.14.1 and Windows 10 Note: As mentioned in C#2 even we observed the same behaviour on Ubuntu 14.04 i.e., tab opening with a dialogue box involving ...."open xdg-open". As the issue is seen from M60(60.0.3112.0) considering it as Non-Regression and marking it as Untriaged. |
