Bug Description

I use Linux Mint 18.3 Cinnamon 64 bit and Inkscape 0.92 from the stable ppa.

To get this bug you have to:
 - close your webbrowser
 - start Inkscape
 - go to menu "help" and open "inkscape manual"
A new empty dialog window will appear and after a second the site "http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/index.php" will be opened in the web browser (in my case chromium). The new dialog window will not close and freeze the whole program

Note: If the webbrowser is already open, the new empty dialog window will close immediately after the web site is called

Bug also in Inkscape Version 0.91, but here the dialog window is not empty, here is shows the message "'Inkscape Manual' working, please wait...", an info icon and a "Chancel"-button. But the button is not working.
