What happens if you click on a link ingame in the chat ? (Simply type http://www.google.de/ in the chat)

The same happened for me up until 1.4.2, then it got fixed. Windows XP glitch, probably. Book and quill also glitched up until the same point.

Okay I tried it it said "are you sure you want to open the following website?
Http://www.google.com/"
So it clicked it and nothing happened which is what happens to me when I try to click on a link in the minecraft launcher

Old & new launcher and Minecraft itself affected -> Sounds like some security setting in Java.

Is this still an issue in the current launcher 0.9.5 ?

Please attach full console output after attempting to click a link.

Try going ingame and clicking on a link in chat!

Is this still a concern in the current Minecraft /Launcher version? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases.

No answer, assuming no longer an issue.

This is not resolved I responde to an email indicating it was not resolved. I guess I should have responded here instead.

Sorry, wrong file requested.

Please attach the complete output of the "Development console" of the launcher after clicking a link. CTRL-A, CTRL-C there, CTRL-V in the ticket.

This is what I got after blindly clicking the grey screen until it took me to a web page. I then clicked the development console tab (blindly assuming it was selected) and clicked int he grey area. then doing as you asked.

Nothing to see.

But:

(blindly assuming it was selected)
and clicked int he grey area

?? Don't you see what`s written in the Development Console ??

Please attach a screenshot.

This is a scrennshot after I selected the Dev con tab. It is exactly the same as when I first open minecraft. The profile drop down box does not appear to function. I cannot press any of the profile buttons. The only thing I can do is click on the area that says "play offline". This brings the game up normally in "online" mode.
