Kirill Mackenzie raised in [3] (p. 31) the following question: given a morphism F : Ω → Ω′, where Ω and Ω′ are topological groupoids and F is continuous on a neighborhood of the base in Ω, is it true that is Ω continuous everywhere?This paper gives a negative answer to that question. Moreover, we shall prove that for a locally compact groupoid Ω with non-singleton orbits and having open target projection, if we assume that the continuity of every morphism F on a neighborhood of the base in Ω implies the continuity of F everywhere, then the groupoid Ω must be locally transitive.
