Auto-linking to resources in embedded HTML pages doesn't open in _top frame

Dear Moodlers,

I have a problem with the way in which auto-linked resources are opening in my version of moodle. I am using the build 1.8.7.20081105. I have the Resource Names Auto-linking text filter enabled and the Filter settings set to filter uploaded HTML files.

In the attached example, in the first image the mouse is hovering over an auto-link which actually points to a quiz resource. When clicked, the quiz opens up inside the embedded area that the uploaded HTML document was occupying rather than the _top level window. This leads to the "double banner" as illustrated in image 2 which is obviously very ugly and undesirable. Is this a known bug? Or is there a setting I need to enable to avoid this happening? Any and all advice appreciated.

Many thanks,

Stuart Anderson

Hi Stuart,
It sounds to me like a bug too. You can write a tracker issue for Filters.
Thanks,
Jerome
