While copying and pasting a line which is having a link to a named anchor, the
link value is changed to absolute value in the copied line eventhough the
original line is having the link value as relative. Is it a intended behaviour?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. In the composer a line with a link to a named achor as relative value.
2. Now copy and paste the line in another location.
3. Now double click the link in the copied link to see the link details. 

Actual Results:  
The link is absolute now.

Expected Results:  
The link should be relative like the original line (source line)

This is probably using GetHref, which returns an absolute URI, instead of using
GetAttribute("href")....

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a

you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
