In that case it is an icon, therefore the cut and paste is being handled by the Wimp since sometime around the end of last year (IIRC), so you'll need to report any problems on the ROOL forum. These changes will also be partly the cause of Harriet's original problem, as the Wimp's attempts to handle clicks/drags/highlights in the icon are overriding NetSurf's handling of it. To get round this, maybe NetSurf could have an icon at the end of the URL bar that can be dragged? (I know, RO developer needed!)

You can drag URLs directly from the address bar and drop them into the target area - no need for copy and paste.

If you use Ctrl-A to select the content of the icon, a single click elsewhere in the document (or even back in the same icon) doesn't then clear the selection. In fact, you can start a drag and create a *second* highlighted selection elsewhere in Netsurf - the URL bar just goes to a paler highlight, and then if you click in it again you end up with two black selected areas in the same window. Normally, clicking elsewhere in the same window is expected to clear any existing selection. The only way to clear the URL bar at all appears to be by an explicit Ctrl-Z with the cursor in the icon, and it took me a long time to discover that option for getting rid of it! If you 'select' the URL bar with Ctrl-A, then create a selection elsewhere, then click back into the URL bar (creating two simultaneous selections), then press Ctrl-C, doing a paste from the clipboard into another app will transfer the selected text from the URL bar, but doing a 'Selection->Save' via the menu structure will save the selection from the work area instead. :-D -- Harriet Bazley == Loyaulte me lie == The way to a man's heart is through the left ventricle. ___ netsurf-users mailing list -- netsurf-users@netsurf-browser.org To unsubscribe send an email to netsurf-users-le...@netsurf-browser.org

Here using NS 5223 I can copy and paste without problems, I can also copy and paste out of the URL bar. But as Harriet notes, unlike in past times we cannot drag the URL out to another place.

Copying text from a web page is fine, the problem occurs when trying to copy a URL, as one might if sending a link to someone else for example. -- Stuart Winsor Tools With A Mission sending tools across the world http://www.twam.co.uk/ ___ netsurf-users mailing list -- netsurf-users@netsurf-browser.org To unsubscribe send an email to netsurf-users-le...@netsurf-browser.org

I just tried that on my NetSurf #5223 and it worked fine to copy text from a web page into zap (except using Ctrl-Y on zap rather than Ctrl-V).

Copy and paste: Drag cursor along text to mark it, Hit CTRL-C, place curser where text is required, CTRL-V You can no longer mark the text. When you try you end up with a funny little square which you have to drag into your document and it lands up wherever you happen to have left the cursor, which invariably isn't where you want it placed. This is contrary to every other copy operation in RISC OS or, as far as I am aware Windows either, which is why I say it doesn't work properly, i.e. as it should. -- Stuart Winsor Tools With A Mission sending tools across the world http://www.twam.co.uk/ ___ netsurf-users mailing list -- netsurf-users@netsurf-browser.org To unsubscribe send an email to netsurf-users-le...@netsurf-browser.org
