User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030314 Mozilla Firebird/0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030314 Mozilla Firebird/0.6

When I use "copy link location" from right clicking on an URL, apparently
nothing gets copied to the clipboard.

I can paste the URL neither in phoenix itself nor in my xterm.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. load "about:" page
2. right click on any URL
3. select "copy link location"
4. right click in location bar
5. select "paste"

Actual Results:  
some left over crud from the clipboard gets pasted

Expected Results:  
paste the URL that I asked it to copy.

Reporter, your build is way too old.

Please try this on a recent build and see if you can reproduce the bug.

Hi Felix, this works for me on Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.4a)
Gecko/20030425 Mozilla Firebird/0.6.

Could you please try a current nightly build.

Can anyone from the Linux front confirm this?

I'm sorry that my build looks old, but I did "make -f client.mk checkout" every day in the last week and then re-ran configure and make.  My build _is_ recent, even if my user agent string does not show it.  Maybe I should submit that as another bug ;-)

Hi Fefe, you should report that, if it's reproducable. 

Another thing: Could you try a normal Linux binary from ftp.mozilla.org and see,
if you could reproduce this there, too.

CU in dcs* or dasr...

I just compiled the new CVS version and - lo and behold - the problem is gone.
Although the code was not touched.  Must've been cosmic rays or something.

that's good, but "FIXED" indicates that a bug in mozilla was found and fixed.
the resolution for "cosmic rays" issues is WORKSFORME. reopening to change that...

... and re-resolving, per reporter's comment.
