Also, if the star is the thing you're supposed to drag ('favicon'),
isn't there a problem with accidentally creating a favourite in the
process? Having a draggable object distinct from the icon text sounds
like a good solution in principle, but using that particular one seems
awkward.

This one says 30-Sep-20.

Saying 5.27 is no help - early versions had no relevant changes, middle ones had some changes that may or may not have worked, later ones were ok.

The feature has disappeared. Sorry, wasn't paying attention. I am still using 3.10 #4967. Looks as if I shouldn't upgrade until the NrtSurf team have fixed it.

Re: Dragging from URL icon
My latest observation with #5223 and OS 5.27 is that if you click in Netsurf's URL field but not double-click nor do Ctrl-A nor otherwise select its text, then Ctrl-C does put the text in the field onto the clipboard for pasting elsewhere. Only trouble is if you do highlight the text in the field, then Ctrl-C doesn't work and there appears to be no way to deselect the text so as to do what I describe above. I haven't found any distinction between trying to operate on the icon's text and trying to do so on the favicon. -- Bernard ___ netsurf-users mailing list -- netsurf-users@netsurf-browser.org To unsubscribe send an email to netsurf-users-le...@netsurf-browser.org
Re: Dragging from URL icon
This is all getting very confusing. For what it's worth, this is the target behaviour that NetSurf's aiming for, note it varies depending on whether the version of RISC OS supports text selection / C in writable icons: RISC OS with text selection support === RISC OS Versions: * RISC OS 4/6 from 4.37 onward (I think, it's been a while.) * RISC OS 5 from 5.28 onward Dragging the URL text should perform text selection, and you should be able to cut/copy/paste the text with Ctrl+X/C/V. Dragging the favicon should drag-save the whole URL. RISC OS without text selection support == RISC OS Versions: * RISC OS 2/3/4 up to 4.37 * RISC OS 5 up to 5.28. Dragging the favicon or the actual URL text should drag-save the whole URL. If that's not happening, it's not as intended, however, we'll need a RISC OS developer to fix it for us.

That's what I'm complaining about, you can no longer copy and paste and this system is very confusing as it's the only app that works like this and it used to behave "properly" before. Time and time again I find I've dropped a URL in the wrong place because I haven't put the cursor where I want the URL in a document, before starting the copy. It's a totally backwards system. -- 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
