Bug 34131 – [Qt] Make highlighted links visible to the user on tap down and finger up

• Component: Layout and Rendering
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
1. Open any valid web page which contains some links. Ex: http://rediff.com
2. Tap down on any link in the web page.
3. Finger up from the highlighted link to load the page.
ACTUAL RESULTS:
Finger up after tapping down on a link directly opens the web page and the link highlight (on tap down) is not visible to the user.

EXPECTED RESULTS:
Step 2: Link is highlighted on Tap down. 
Step 3: Link is opened as a web page on finger up

Setting as an enhancement.

Though I'm not sure that this fits in QtWebKit's responsibility. Different applications might want different behaviors regarding this.

This issue is originated from
https://qtrequirements.europe.nokia.com/browse/BR-766 and now that issue is not reproducible any more due to changes in their code, resolving the error as Invalid.

[Antonio Gomes]

it would be a cool feature to have on mobile.

Not sure what you say is not reproducible. Nothing has been fixed in this area.

[Suresh Voruganti]

Pls check the originating Browser that shows the issue is not reproducible.
