Interference with other open instances leads to file not opening #250

Closed 0-issue closed 1 year ago

0-issue commented 1 year ago

This is an interesting one... For the first time I tried opening multiple instances of elinks in different terminal sessions, each one opening a different document. Depending on the size of the file open, at some point elinks starts throwing error as if file was a a URL when in reality the file was present in the same directory. The problem does not happen if one appends file://./ like in $ elinks file://./toc01.xhtml, but does happen if $ elinks toc01.xhtml. Upon closing the other elinks instances, bang! this works again: $ elinks toc01.xhtml. Not sure what is going on!

Check this setting: set protocol.default_protocol = "" Default is "https://". Also you can try "file://".
