Description Kai Uwe Broulik 2013-08-28 14:47:52 UTC 
When right-clicking the status bar there is an entry "Copy text" which does nothing. I guess it's supposed to copy the statusbar text to the clipboard? It appears anywhere on the statusbar (eg. right-clicking the free space info results in the same menu)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Right click anywhere on the statusbar in Dolphin
2. Choose "Copy text"
3. Try to paste somewhere else
Actual Results:  
Nothing is pasted

Expected Results:  
The statusbar text(?) is pasted

I never noticed this context menu entry. When looking at the code, it seems that text is only copied if it is not the "default text".

I cannot remember any use case in which this could be useful (in particular, since most error messages are not shown in the status bar any more).

The best solution is IMHO to remove this useless entry.

Please use the "BUG" and "FIXED-IN" keywords when committing bug fixes in the future. Thanks.

Sorry, I just before pushed a fix to Plasma which didn't have a BKO entry and then forgot to add it here. Thanks for filling it in.
