Default browser:  Brave

For the last couple of weeks, I have been seeing a new behavior while

using Evolution.  Previous when I open

a link in Evolution, it would open in the default browser as a new

tab (browser is always open).

However, now I'm seeing  the link open is the already running

instance of Brave as well as a completely new

instance of Brave being started.

Anyone else seeing this?    Is this a new quirk in Evolution or a bug

in dbus?

Thanks

When you open a new link, the program (evolution here) will -af ter sme

indirections- launch a new copy of your browser (here, brave), which

would detect it is already running and open the link on a new

window/tab in the exiting window.

The flatpak sandbox may be confusing brave.

It is more like Flatpak is confused.   As both a new Brave window opens, but the link is opened
in the existing Brave.  It is like  Flatpak  see a link click .. starts a new instance of the default
browser before checking to see if one is already running and then checks, detects the original

instance of the browser and had hands the link to the original instance.

Your problem seems quite similar to

https://mail.gnome.org/archives/evolution-list/2022-August/msg00107.html

but in the opposite way.

I don't see it .   This is about Chrome not opening a mailto: link when the default mail client is
set to Evolution

Are you also using wayland?

No, I am not.
