1775208 - Pasting link copied from "Copy Summary" button in bug pages into composer inserting only URL as plain text

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

[Masayuki Nakano [:masayuki] (he/him)(JST, +0900)(sickish, maybe slower respose)]

STR

1. Open the mail composer in HTML mode
2. Click "Copy Summary" button in a bug page in Firefox
3. Paste it into the composer

Expected Result

A link should be inserted, its text is the bug number and bug summary, and its link target is the bug's URL.

Actual Result

The URL is pasted as plain text.

I can reproduce this in the trouble shooting mode too.

With mozregression, I got a regression range, but it does not make sense...

I'm not sure whether is a bug of the editor module (pasting side), the code copying to the clipboard or the composer window.

I don't reproduce this bug if I copy link in Firefox's web content.

The regression is probably bug 1572648's https://hg.mozilla.org/comm-central/rev/e487599c0b4f0bfcaf12513800eed54d142a391e since that modifies how we handle stuff with an html data transfer when we're not offline. Going offline fixes the behavior, since we then don't use the "plain link" code path.
