Folks, I'm talking about classic Xselection (using the "PRIMARY" selection), not xclipboard nor cut buffers.
IOW: that what usually happens when you're selecting text in one window and paste it via middle-button in another one. The explicit copy (triggered by menu/hotkey) via xclipboard indeed seems to give correct results. But we're talking about different code pathes here. While the latter seems to fix the broken URL coming from the widget (note: the prefix is also missing in the editline widget), that fixup is simply missing in the first (classic xselection) case. My thesis is that classic Xselection is handled by a generic editline widget, while explicit xclipboard is done somewhere else. Anyways, I really wonder why such broken URLs are put into the URL bar in the first place. Thats totally useless and just causes bugs. Perhaps someone could give me a hint where to find the responsible code ? I'd like to completely remove that misfeature, which is the root cause here, in the source. cu -- Enrico Weigelt, metux IT consult +49-151-27565287 ----- Reply message ----- Von: "Florian W." <1343...@bugs.launchpad.net> An: "enrico weigelt" <enrico.weig...@gr13.net> Betreff: [Bug 1343081] Re: chromium: missing "http://"; in URL bar on non-ssl http URLs Datum: Mi., Aug. 20, 2014 17:31 The http:// is prepended when using either the "select text -> middle click" clipboard or the ctrl-c/ctrl-v clipboard. At least for me. So I'd say this is not a bug, unless the reporter confirms there is some way to copy/paste the almost complete URL without http://. In fact, this new feature only removes the ability to copy only part of a URL starting from (e.g.) "www.", like the hostname part, because http:// appears to be always included when copying at least the host name. -- You received this bug notification because you are subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1343081 Title: chromium: missing "http://"; in URL bar on non-ssl http URLs Status in “chromium-browser” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Version 34.0.1847.116 Ubuntu 14.04 aura (260972) On http URLs (non-ssl), the url bar misses the "http://"; prefix.
