1804643 - Links in event description are lacking a `Copy link` context menu

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Calendar :: Dialogs, defect, P2)

Description

[Paul Menzel]

Steps to reproduce:

I am using Debian sid/unstable with thunderbird 1:102.5.1-1, gnome-shell
43.1-2, and libgtk-3-0 3.24.35-2.

In the calendar, open an event, which has an URL in the description, and try to open the context menu for the URL to copy it (right click).

Actual results:

No context menu opens.

Expected results:

A context menu should have opened.

Thanks Paul, spot on as usual.
That's really quite basic functionality which is missing here. There's so many reasons for wanting to copy a link from an event description. Maybe someone will have mercy in between all the other things we're working on...
