67561 - Mozilla 0.7 doesn't copy mailto: URLS to clipboard

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[bk039]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win 9x 4.90; en-US; 0.7) Gecko/20010109
BuildID:    2001010901

When I attemptd to copy any mailto URL to the clipboard, the "Copy Link
Location" command does not work.  The contents of the clipboard will remain
unchanged.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Copy any text to the clipboard, such as "Hello World!".
2. Head to the URL http://www.inside3d.com/frikbot/
3. Right click on the "Contact" link, and select Copy Link to Clipboard.
4. Paste the copied link to any location.

Actual Results:  The pasted text will be "Hello world!".

Expected Results:  An e-mail address would have been expected.

Problem also happens on http://www.adom.de.
In addition, if that is the first time you right-clicked, other impossible
commands will come up in the right-click menu, such as "Prefill Form". Those
command appear to do nothing.

0.7 is too old, could you please try a build from this month? thanks.

please limit your bugs to contain only a single defect.  the form nonsense is 
covered in a bunch of other bugs.  the menu items to display for context menus 
are also covered in other bugs.

I think even the mailto: issue is reported elsewhere. [~130/700bugmails left]

It works for me on mozilla0.7 win95:
1) Visit this very page
2) Right-click on [e-mail] in the middle of the page.
3) Click on copy link location
4) Paste in URL bar or in this text form.
Works fine.
