Copying the link to a visited website from the library and pasting this link to my folders in the file explorer does not work (was ok in the last version I used).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open the library
2. copy a link
3. open a file folder
4. paste link => nothing happens
Actual Results:  
Link can be copied but not pasted to a file folder
When the link already exists in the file folder, then a question is asked about overwriting

Expected Results:  
can copy a link to a visited website from the library and paste it to my folders
