1384059 - SVG: "Copy link location" of <a xlink:href="relativePath"> does not copy full URL

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Menus, defect, P5)

Description

[Jens]

Attachment: svg_a_link_copy.html

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:56.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/56.0
Build ID: 20170724030204

Steps to reproduce:

Right click on the SVG <a> link and select "Copy link location"


Actual results:

Only the relative Path is copied. Which is quite useless as it does not contain a pasteable full URL.


Expected results:

Copy the full URL like done for html links.

FWIW, the "Copy link location" menu entry is available in Firefox 56 but not yet in Firefox 54. So I guess the functionality to copy SVG <a> links was just added recently, but it was forgotten to copy the full path (URL) for links not just whatever string is inside <a xlink:href="relativePath"> (e.g. "relativePath") verbatim.

Attached is a minimal testcase.

Seems OK now.
