Bug 29598 – [Qt] QWebPage::createWindow() must call show() for target="blank"

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: DUPLICATE
• Component: WebKit Qt

[Tor Arne Vestbø]

This bug report originated from Nokia internal issue QT-1250

--- Description ---

Consider this implementation:

QWebPage * WebPage::createWindow(QWebPage::WebWindowType type)
{
    qDebug() << Q_FUNC_INFO;
    Q_UNUSED(type);
    WebView * newView = new WebView();
    newView->show(); // HERE
    return newView->page();
}

show() must called for links with target="blank_", in other cases not. This is inconsistent and leads to confusion. See the second link in http://www.javascript-coder.com/window-popup/javascript-window-open-example1.html for an example.

This bug is the same as https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27285, in which I was told to not add the call to show().
