680972 - http is not prepended to urls in urlbar when copying to clipboard from xul errorpages

Status: RESOLVED INACTIVE

(Firefox :: Address Bar, defect)

Description

[Patrick Huy]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:7.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/7.0
Build ID: 20110816154714

Steps to reproduce:

Trigger a XUL Errorpage by going to a nonexisting or invalid url like
http://www.nonexistingurl.com/
http://127.0.0.1:213
Then copy the url to the clipboard using either ctrl+c or the context menu.


Actual results:

The url is copied to the clipboard without the http:// (like displayed in location bar)


Expected results:

http:// should have been prepended to the url the same way it is prepended when visiting working urls.

Interestingly, this works for me when I follow your link here, but fails when I open it in a new tab.

Presumably this is because the URL is considered "typed" in the latter case, due to the background error page load not triggering an onLocationChange to override the set of userTypedValue for the new tab? Reminds me of bug 623155.
