Bug 34715 – webkit-gtk doesn't emit new-window-policy-decision-requested for onclick js popups

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: DUPLICATE
• Component: WebKitGTK

[Senko Rasic]

I'm using python-webkit 1.1.7-1+b1 with libwebkit 1.1.19-1 on Debian unstable.
From what I've been told on IRC, the problem is in webkit-gtk and not the python bindings.

I'm trying to catch all new window creation requests in my application. I have a handler
for 'new-window-policy-decision-requested' (and 'navigation-policy-decision-requested').

When clicking on links in gmail, it attempts to open a new window in the onclick handler,
but the 'new-window-policy-decision-requested' signal is never emitted (neither is
'navigation-policy-decision-requested', fwiw).

Additional note: newly created webview for the popup (if you do create one) does emit 'navigation-policy-decision-requested', which is a documented behaviour.

The GTK+ port of WebKit1 has been removed.
