Description Tommi Komulainen 2004-11-03 15:11:30 UTC 
Hyperlinks are generally opened when clicked, not on button press.  When you
want to open the link there shouldn't be any perceived difference between the
two.  However when you want to copypaste (drag) the URL instead, you'll notice
it's not possible if the link is opened on button press.

Using context menu to copy the URL (bug 157240) is an option, but I think
dragging should be supported as well.

Yes, I agree. 

But it has nothing to do with clicking vs. button press, it has to do with
GtkTextView having no native support for urls.  You'll notice that Gaim doesn't
allow dragging URLs either, for this reason.
