Description Josselin Mouette 2008-06-25 15:42:57 UTC 
[ Forwarded from http://bugs.debian.org/486178 by Matijs van Zuijlen ]

After sending the bug report, bug-buddy shows a link to the bug report's
URL. However, this link is a button. This makes it impossible to just copy
the URL to the clipboard.

In almost all cases, this is not a problem, since clicking the button will
just open the page. However, when the bug is in the web browser, the URL
will not open since the crashed web browser instance is still present.

Confirming.
Would a right click popup with a "Copy Link Address" item be fine for you?
Comment 2 Josselin Mouette 2008-07-31 22:52:09 UTC 
That would indeed do the trick.

Other options are to put the address as a regular link in the text, or to make it text-only and put an "open" button on the right.

I fixed this in trunk.

2008-08-01  Cosimo Cecchi  <cosimoc@gnome.org>

	* src/bug-buddy.c: (copy_link_item_activated_cb),
	(build_link_menu), (link_button_press_event_cb), (bug_sent):
	Add a right click menu item "Copy Link Address" on the GtkLinkButton
	to allow copying of the bug URL (#540174).
