4. Select "Copy link".

Why does an explicit chosen action need a notification? WONT-FIX?

As I mentioned in the previous comment, all other actions from context menu trigger toaster notifications(e.g. when you add a  bookmark link, a notification is triggered: "Bookmark added". The same happens with "Open Link in New Tab")

fyi- If you long click the awesomebar then select |Copy Address|, it also copies to the clipboard without a toast message.

Issue is still reproducible on Aurora 22.0a2 2013-04-02 on the Acer Iconia Tab A500 (Android 3.2.1). Since there is a toaster notification when copying text to the clipboard I would expect to also be a notification for copied links.
