Description Ben Kahn 2002-06-03 21:21:15 UTC 
When creating hyperlinks, the linked URL should be displayed in the tooltip
on the link.  This is esp. needed because HTML cut and paste allows these
links to be pasted in.  The author might not be aware of what they just pasted.

so this is about the *editor*, bug 248425 is about the *rendering*.

still valid in 3.7.4
Comment 2 Matthew Barnes 2008-03-11 01:03:23 UTC 
Bumping version to a stable release.
Comment 3 André Klapper 2017-02-09 13:37:12 UTC 
GtkHtml is not under active development anymore. 
Evolution (its main consumer) switched to a WebKit backend a while ago. 
It is currently unlikely that there will be any further GtkHtml development.

Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping (bug 778387) to reflect reality. Please feel free to reopen this bug report in the future if anyone takes the responsibility for active development again.
