Opened: Mar 22, 2017 Severity: 3-Major
F5's applications (f5vpn, f5epi) can't be launched from the webtop/webpage when Google Chrome is used on Fedora 25 or Fedora 26. This happens because of improper behavior of 'gio' utility which fails to process custom protocol link request ("f5-vpn://..."). gio utility is invoked by xdg-open script which, in turn, is invoked by Google Chrome. Firefox browser is not affected.
F5's application f5vpn and f5epi can't be launched from a web page by the first click. The second click within a short amount of time works fine.
It happens when all conditions are met: * Fedora 25/26 Linux distribution. * Gnome as desktop manager. * Google Chrome.
* Click the second time on webtop resource icon or "Try again" link within the short amount of time (less than a minute). * Use Firefox browser on Fedora as it's not affected.
