228430 - Copy of relative links from one part of a composer page to another changes the link to absolute, requiring editing.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 228199

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Greg Facer]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007

For example. I am working on a small set of web pages that I only have on a
floppy right now. If I enter a link, picking it out from the floppy, the first
time, it correctly finds that this is in the same directory and is a relative
link of href="link.html". However, if I don't like where I put the link....like
maybe I want to put it in a table, and I try and cut and paste it, the link
becomes href="file:///link.html" (or whatever it exactly looks like). Same thing
with moving images around with cut and paste. Annoying as anything, but not a
critical error.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.set up a link and set a relative link from the dialogue
2.cut the link and paste it somewhere else
3.take a look at the html code

Actual Results:  
Absolute link in html codes

Expected Results:  
either the same link as before, or at least default to the same but pop up a
dialog to edit if needed. I can understand the use if you are copying from the
web in general to population links on a local page, but shouldn't interfere with
simple moving about the page copies.
