Description David Richards 2004-11-29 22:24:22 UTC 
I tried this to the right place.

I got an email message that had a gif image that loaded from the internet
correctly.  When you click on the image or did a mouse over the image it
correctly identified that it was a href tag and would take you to a web
page on the Internet.

However if you right mouse click and select "Copy Link Location" it copied
the link of the gif image itself, and not the href site.  The same link
seen on the mouse-over should go into the copy buffer when this option is
selected.

I don't see copy link location in my evo with images inside <A> tag.

Please attach the message causing that.
Comment 2 André Klapper 2005-09-28 12:15:38 UTC 
retargetting from 2.1 to 2.5 to get rid of that ancient milestones.

Partha: AFAIT, this context menu is via the shell. Could you please confirm ?
Comment 4 Srinivasa Ragavan 2005-10-05 08:13:35 UTC 
kaushal, no shell picture there. Its just gtkhtml and mailer. Shell has no role
to play there IIRC. in em-folder-view.c is the place where it has the link code
and gtkhtml passes the on_url signal and data.
Comment 5 Kaushal Kumar 2005-10-06 11:46:39 UTC 
Yes, I could not be sure since I have not worked in shell or mailer. 
moving it to mailer for further investigation. the context menu needs to take
care of copying the actual link instead of the image location.
Comment 6 Kaushal Kumar 2005-10-06 11:47:45 UTC 
Re-open.

Comment 8 Gilles Dartiguelongue 2007-04-07 08:23:56 UTC 
Seems to work ok here (evo-2.10) would somebody confirm ?
Comment 9 Milan Crha 2007-10-16 14:18:22 UTC 
Works for me on 2.12 too, so closing. Feel free to reopen if you find something wrong. (btw, closing as fixed because it was fixed, even don't know when exactly). :)
