basic html file with an anchor tag

When I try and create a link on the Desktop to a local html file that contains an anchor tag (#), then the launcher doesn't work. You have to manually remove the anchor then it works - but then obviously the link is no longer exactly where you want it.

It's weird because it works for non-local html files on the Internets but not for local files.

E.g. (see html file attached):

Working
========
1. Open Firefox.
2. Open the html file: file:///home/user/Desktop/mypage.html
3. Click in the URL bar (highlight the URL).
4. Drag and drop to the desktop.

This should create a valid link on the desktop to the file.


Not working
============

Same as above but use this instead: file:///home/user/Desktop/mypage.html#end
