| Description: |
Clicking on a URL is intended to launch a browser, but that fails on Unix. Problem is that [findExecutable] uses [upvar] and [gotoUrl] passes env(BROWSER) as the variable name to be linked to by [upvar] -- the global ::env array. Linking to an element of the ::env array via [upvar] has been broken in Tcl since release 8.1 -- this is Tcl Bug 219372. We should be able to work around this by change "env" to any other global array variable name. | |||
