GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 598159
Context popup clears a selection
Last modified: 2009-12-04 04:18:00 UTC
Steps to reproduce : 1) write a new mail in Evolution 2) select part of one line 3) right click to show contextual menu Expected result : selection is kept and it is possible to choose "copy" from the menu Actual result : selection is lost Note that if selection contains the beginning of the line it works. I can reproduce it in plain text, html in Evolution 2.26 and 2.28
It seems to work fine for me in 2.28.0
Can someone else try to reproduce it? I have had several people/devs using Ubuntu (Jaunty and Karmic) reproduce this bug and they told me that no Ubuntu specific patch could trigger this bug in their opinion. Thanks
I tried on actual master, which is I believe pretty same as 2.28 in this area (GtkHTML), and I see this. Exactly as you said, when I have selected only few words from a line, then pressing right-click, even with move above the selection, deselects it. Maybe related to spelling, maybe not. Nonetheless, confirming.
Created attachment 145365 [details] [review] gtkhtml patch for gtkhtml;
Created commit 632f77f in gtkhtml master (3.29.1+) Created commit eff3dbc in gtkhtml gnome-2-28 (3.28.1+)
Wow _that_ was fast ! Thanks a lot.
