it seems that either bogus information is being copied if mozilla is just started and i immediately try to copy a location. or - after moving to another page, it copies the link out of the url bar. perhaps this should be marked as a regression?? b/c i believe that it was working before we had bug 36374

hi Jae, could you pls add specific steps to reproduce this? were you using a recent version of the linux build? btw, did you perchance run into bug 38723; not sure if it's related, tho', but you never know...

wow - i'm really sorry about that - it's been one of those days :) ok - i'm noticing this on the latest nightly (2000051210). here's how to reproduce after loading mozilla : 1. go to any link location and use the copy link 2. go outside to another window (xterm) and paste it, the last thing that was in the buffer is pasted. 3. go to a new page by clicking a link and repeat the above process and you will get the url of the link you just clicked. this actually may be a problem w/ the reading to and from the clipboard memory b/c if i try to cut and paste something out of the url bar - it does not work either. this is different the 38723 b/c there the copy link location gave that js error - here it's just copying incorrect information or it's not copying information at all. perhaps this is more of the cut and paste functions not working properly? again, sorry about the lack of info, i seem to have had an all around bad day of posting bugs. :)

I confirm the existence of this bug. It's a recent regression: I'm pretty sure I remember that build 2000050308 didn't have it.

i'm still seeing this in the nightlies - any chance someone can take a look at it? it's a pretty bad regression and m16 probably shouldn't be "shipped" w/o this working.

Just noting for the sake of completeness that this does not occur on Windows 2000 using 2000051620.

back to xpapps. I know the clipboard code works, so if there is a problem it would be in the way people are getting the url

FWIW, this applies to the "Copy Image Location" option as well. If xclipboard is running it does reflect the proper contents, though they aren't reflected on a paste into another X app.

it isn't that it copies the wrong location...it simply doesn't copy anything. Whatever you paste after having used "copy link location" is whatever was previously copied correct. Which can be for instance the previous URL you visited, since some auto-copying of that field always happens when changing URL. Or - if you had something else copied in - for instance from a 3rd party app - and then use "copy link location" and paste to see what you caught - it will be what you copied with 3rd party app. The only thing that happens when you use "copy link location" is that console outputs "Write clipboard to memory". But whatever took place sure doesn't land anywhere near a clipboard.

Correct, this wasn't doing anything. We now copy selection to the clipboard as well, fixed.
