88463 - copy-link-location in history is broken

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core Graveyard :: History: Global, enhancement)

Description

[Chris Waterson]

It would be great if you could copy the link location of a history entry from
the history window to the clipboard; e.g., to post into a mail message.

[Alec Flett]

actually this should be working. it could be busted in the same way that
delete-from-history is currently busted (Wierd JS scoping issues local to the
commercial client)
you should also be able to drag & drop from history to the compose window...

(removing [rfe] since this should be working)

Comment 3

[Chris Waterson]

Yeah, I discovered that drag-and-drop works! (Which is good enough for my
sinister needs...)

My first attempt was to right-click to get a context menu, but that doesn't seem
to work. (No context menu came up -- bug?)

My second attempt was to copy using Edit->Copy, but that didn't seem to put
anything on the clipboard that mail compose could understand.

Anyway, feel free to close this if it's covered by other bugs.

Yeah, like I said in the other bug, I think copy needs to be fixed too...it has 
the same (oddly) broken usage of the global var within the member function that 
delete does.

mass-verifying claudius' Fixed bugs which haven't changed since 2001.12.31.

if you think this particular bug is not fixed, please make sure of the following
before reopening:

a. retest with a *recent* trunk build.
b. query bugzilla to see if there's an existing, open bug (new, reopened,
assigned) that covers your issue.
c. if this does need to be reopened, make sure there are specific steps to
reproduce (unless already provided and up-to-date).

thanks!

This should be reopened. It doesn't work for my
