Just discovered this thread as I'm having the exact same issue right now and was wondering, mholmes, if you found a work-around. I've noticed that on a Mac, from a terminal session, doing an "open" on my link truncates the hash, but if I copy the link into a browser if works fine -- same thing happens if I use a PDF instead of an HTML file. Same thing happens in Windows for both the PDF and HTML files -- very perplexing. I've tried opening a new dialog with a webView to display the HTML -- that does work with the location hash -- but when I close the dialog my application crashes. This might be related to the fact that my dialog (actually any dialog I use including a QMessageBox) is executed following an event filter capture for a QWhatsThisClickedEvent, but I haven't been able to get an answer on that, either.

Thanks!
