    Description

      Using Qt 5.7.0 on Windows 10.

      I create an URL using fromLocalFile(), then I add a fragment using setFragment(). The method toString() shows that the fragment is correctly used in the URL.

      Then, I call QDesktopServices::openUrl() on this URL. In the browser, the URL misses the fragment. This has been tested with Firefox and IE as default browsers with the same result.

      Example:

      #include <QApplication>
      #include <QDesktopServices>
      #include <QUrl>
      #include <QtDebug>
      
      int main(int argc, char *argv[])
      {
          QApplication a(argc, argv);
          QUrl url(QUrl::fromLocalFile("C:\\Temp\\qtlmovie-user.html"));
          url.setFragment("tabTools");
          qWarning() << "Qt:" << qVersion() << "URL:" << url.toString();
          bool ok = QDesktopServices::openUrl(url);
          qWarning() << "openUrl returned" << ok;
      }
      

      Display:

      Qt: 5.7.0 URL: "file:///C:/Temp/qtlmovie-user.html#tabTools"
      openUrl returned true
      

      In the address bar of the browser, we see:

      file:///C:/Temp/qtlmovie-user.html
      

      The transmitted URL has no trailing "#tabTools" and the display is at the top of the page, not at the target anchor.
