If you go to that page and click on the Preferences link in the left frame, then
click on the Preferences images that's on the right frame, to be sure that's the
right frame which has the focus.
Now ask Edit-Select All then Copy. Go to the Finder and open the Clipboard,
you'll find this TEXT message:
"The image “http://www.stocksraiders.com/chimera/PrefWithIcons05.jpg” cannot be
displayed, because it contains errors."
No matter the image.
V0.40 Build 20020711 16:04
Confirmed using Chimera/20020708 and FizzillaCFM/2002070913. Behavior can be
observed by simply accessing [http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/ant.jpg]. Trying XP
Toolkit/Widgets first.

Okay. So this message is really generated as the fix to bug 9796, the idea
being that when the synthetic document is created (in nsImageDocument.cpp) an
ALT attribute that presumes failure is added to the IMG element. So, if the
image is "broken" for some reason, the user sees a message saying something to
that effect, instead of the previous behaviour of showing the image URL only
in the case of an broken image.
But, now, when you copy '...<body><img src="not404.gif" alt="foopy"></body>',
you get the text string "foopy" placed on the clipboard. But the "alt text as
error message" is now completely misleading in this context.
I'd say that reverting to the previous 'show the url in place of a failed
image load' is better than showing error messages in non-error situations.
But I'm having trouble really caring about either situation.

so wait a second
this bug is about this, right:
1) An image is displayed "stand-alone" (ie. not as part of a web page)
2) user does "Select All"
3) user does "Copy"
4) Clipboard contains error message

MASS-CHANGE:
This bug report is registered in the SeaMonkey product, but has been without a comment since the inception of the SeaMonkey project. This means that it was logged against the old Mozilla suite and we cannot determine that it's still valid for the current SeaMonkey suite. Because of this, we are setting it to an UNCONFIRMED state.
If you can confirm that this report still applies to current SeaMonkey 2.x nightly builds, please set it back to the NEW state along with a comment on how you reproduced it on what Build ID, or if it's an enhancement request, why it's still worth implementing and in what way.
If you can confirm that the report doesn't apply to current SeaMonkey 2.x nightly builds, please set it to the appropriate RESOLVED state (WORKSFORME, INVALID, WONTFIX, or similar).
If no action happens within the next few months, we move this bug report to an EXPIRED state.
