Description James Bennett 2004-02-27 03:17:23 UTC
Epiphany's address bar is seemingly the only part of the browser which does
not behave according to traditional X copy/paste behavior, and does so in
an  inconsistent fashion.

Essentially, it seems that Epiphany's address bar does not obey "highlight
to copy" behavior, but only with repect to Epiphany.  Highlighting a URL in
Epiphany's address bar will not make it available to be pasted into other
text fields in Epiphany (form fields in a page, address bars in other tabs,
etc.), but *will* make it available to be pasted into text fields in other
applications.

Test case:

1. Open Epiphany and Gedit.
2. Highlight the URL displayed in Epiphany's address bar.
3. Middle-click in a form field anywhere in Epiphany, or in the address bar
of another Epiphany window/tab.

Expected behavior: paste URL.
Actual behavior: does nothing.

4. With URL still highlighted, middle-click in Gedit.

Expected behavior: paste URL.
Actual behavior: paste URL.

This behavior is inconsistent and needs to be corrected.

Works for me in epiphany 1.1.x. When switching tab the selection is
lost but that's a known behavior of GtkEntry.

Seems to work perfectly in latest versions, closing.
