            Bug ID: 435606
           Summary: Cannot left- or middle-click on links in articles
                    viewed in the sidebar
           Product: akregator
           Version: GIT (master)
          Platform: Archlinux Packages
                OS: Other
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org

  Target Milestone: ---

Created attachment 137501
  --> https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=137501&action=edit
Screenshot with working and non-working links marked

SUMMARY
If I view an article in the sidebar and the article contains links, clicking on
the links (either left- or middle-click) does not open the link. In 'Settings >
Configure Akregator > Browser', I have configured both left- and middle-click
to open in external browser. 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. View any article in the sidebar.
2. Left-click or middle-click on a link in the article (this should not be the
link to the full version of the article or the link to the homepage; see
attached screenshot for description of which links do and do not work).

OBSERVED RESULT
Nothing happens after clicking on the link

EXPECTED RESULT
The link should open in an external browser or in a tab according to the user's
configuration.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Akregator: 5.16.90 beta (21.03.80) (this is the output of `akregator
--version`)
Linux distro: Arch Linux
KDE Plasma Version: 5.21.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.80.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2
Kernel Version: 5.11.12-arch1-1

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I am using the package from the kde-unstable repo [1]. In this package, the
commit [2] is applied on top of the released source. The 'planet KDE' RSS feed
[3] has many articles with links, which may be useful to reproduce this bug.

If I right-click on the links, I can see the 'open in tab' and open in external
browser' options, and those work as expected. If I view articles in the
internal browser (by opening in a tab), I can left- or middle-click on links in
the article.

I was able to click on links with the version released as part of KDE
Applications 20.12.3.
