[Bug]: "Open in BiBCode browser" on a chat link does nothing; system browser works #210

Closed

Description

Before submitting

  • I searched existing issues and did not find a duplicate.
  • I included enough detail to reproduce or investigate the problem.

Area

Not sure

Steps to reproduce

  1. In a project chat, get an agent reply that contains an https:// link.
  2. Click the link. A menu opens with Open in BiBCode browser, Open in system browser and Copy link.
  3. Click Open in BiBCode browser.
  4. Repeat steps 2–3 a few times.
  5. Click the link again and choose Open in system browser.

Expected behavior

Step 3 opens the URL in BiBCode's built-in browser panel.

Actual behavior

  • Step 3: the menu closes and nothing else happens. No browser panel opens, no tab is created and no error or toast appears. It failed the same way three times in a row in my recording.
  • Step 5: the same URL opens normally in the system browser, so the link itself is fine and only the built-in browser path fails.

Impact

Minor bug or occasional failure

Version or commit

0.13.0

Environment

Windows 11 Pro 10.0.26200 (x64), desktop app, Claude Code 2.1.310 provider

Logs or stack traces

# Preview state queried through the BiBCode preview MCP tool (preview_status) right after the failed clicks:
{"available":true,"loading":false,"tabId":null,"title":null,"url":null,"visible":false}

# userdata/logs/server.log has no entry at all for the time of the clicks
# (last line about 14 minutes earlier), so the action seems not to reach the server,
# or fails without logging.

Screenshots, recordings, or supporting files

A 13 s screen recording is available on request (it shows internal content, so I did not upload it).

Workaround

Use Open in system browser or Copy link.

    Triage, 2026-10-31. Not going into PR #213 (#139 MCP batch). It goes in a follow-up PR after that release. Batch 6. It needs a Windows reproduction first (the report is Windows 11 x64, 0.13.0), with the web console and server log captured at the click.

    Planned order after the release: (1) #222 copy lint; (2) quick fixes #228, #221, #229, #231, #232; (3) MCP #220; (4) performance #225, then #223, #226, #227; (5) features #230, #224, #211, #212; (6) #210 after a Windows repro.
