When text exported to PDF first characters of every title in qpdfview is clickable link that opens local folder

[krunose]

Don't know if title explains it, but when text is exported to PDF every title (all levels) is a clickable link

• first character is clickable link (red square)
• that link opens local folder that holds the file
• tooltip on hover gives Open ".

Opening and inspecting same file in Firefox (as PDF) shows one span element for the first character and second for the rest of the title; but first character is not clickable link.

It's on Lubuntu 20.04 with QT 5.12.8, ReText 7.1.0 (and qpdfview).

Hi!

I cannot reproduce this (but I have Qt 5.15.2).

Can you please:

• Attach source file and PDF file.
• Tell me if you have “Edit → Use WebKit renderer” or “Edit → Use WebEngine (Chromium) renderer” checked?

Hi,

under Edit I have Use WebKit renderer and is unchecked.

Here are sample files:

pdf output.pdf
source text.md

Thank you.

Found it. You probably have toc or a similar extension enabled, which adds id attribute to all headers.

And when Qt sees such a header, it turns it into a link. I have submitted a fix for this to Qt codereview: https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/qt/qtbase/+/405495.

Great! Yes, toc extension is enabled. Thanks for ReText, I really enjoy using it!

Thanks for your translation too :)

Planning to revise/update as it has been quite a while since I did that.
