Summary0012705: Disable www features in the "About Scribus" dialog
DescriptionIf no default web browser has been selected in the Prefs, clicking on a link in the "Online" tab of the "About" dialog results in Scribus opening the link in the "About" dialog. This is ridiculous, as this dialog provides no other browser feature like a "Back" button.

Scribus should either detect and use the default browser of the respective system or display an error message.
TagsNo tags attached.

On Windows, without default web browser set, clicking a link launch the default system browser. Looking at the code, I don't see how the link could open in current dialog.

My bad. I should've been more specific.

Clicking with the *left* mouse button opens the default browser, but using the *right* one offers four options, three of which are totally useless:

1) Open Link (opens the website in the About dialog)

2) Open in New Window (does nothing)

3) Save Link (ditto)

4) Copy Link (makes sense)

Compare this to the options in 1.4.x, which all make sense:

1) Copy

2) Copy Link Location

3) Select All
