I don't agree to change the label because it could add extra confusion to users: nothing is selected, so nothing is copied. If having the copy action which copies nothing causes difficulties, it should be disabled, not renamed. Yes, please disable it at a minimum. The renaming option was only if you wanted to be innovative. But the status quo would be to just disable it. It is quite confusing as it is now, otherwise I would not have filed this bug. This is coming from an experienced computer programmer and 10-year veteran linux user. I'm sure if it confuses me, it will confuse my Aunt Tilly. ;-) BTW, I became confused when I was trying to select a URL link in the konsole using the context menu. I had known that you could copy links from the konsole using the context menu, so I activated the context menu with a right click on top of the URL and noticing the Copy option was available, I selected that. Then I had to figure out why it wasn't actually copying the link. After closer inspection I noticed the "Copy Link Location" menu option in the context menu. So this is actually where the confusion lied with me. Had the copy option been greyed out, I'm sure I would have selected "Copy Link Location" on the first try. I renamed this wish per #2 and so this wish could be tracked. Git commit f5772ab06b4f640b5cdb3d5be8f93183f2258cd8 by Jekyll Wu. Committed on 26/08/2011 at 18:56.
