Description Gaffer 2005-11-27 14:57:02 UTC
Version:           1.8.2 (using KDE 3.4.2 Level "b" , SUSE 10.0)
Compiler:          Target: i586-suse-linux
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.13-15-default

Right click on a URL in an Email, no longer copys to clipboard alowing a paste into an existing text file. A window open asking for a file name to copy to !

Right-clicking on an URL shows a context menu. One of the four entries is "Copy Link". If you select it, it copies to the clipboard.

Works fine here, KDE 3.5 r477777.

Please don't reply by email. Use the web interface.

Pasting the contents of the email:
> Now try to place the contents into an existing text file ??
> 
> A window opens asking for a name to save contents to.

Ok, steps I took:
1) right-click an URL in an email in KMail
2) select Copy Link
3) opened kwrite
4) middle-clicked

The URL was pasted correctly.
Comment 3 Gaffer 2005-11-27 21:43:13 UTC
I Don't have a three button mouse.

However opening Kwrite first makes no difference.  I still get a request for a file name to save to. I can re copy from the file I save to and then paste into an existing txt file.

In SuSE 9.0 This worked properly.
Comment 4 Gaffer 2005-11-27 21:45:54 UTC
Just a further comment. Trying to copy and paste the pasword from the signup fails as well.  However it copies the user email ok.
Comment 5 Gaffer 2005-11-28 00:27:12 UTC
Just a note on the copy paste of password.  Are there certain characters that are ignored ?
Comment 6 Thiago Macieira 2005-11-28 01:20:29 UTC
I did not understand the question.
Comment 7 Gaffer 2005-11-28 02:04:06 UTC
Question 5, refered to my comment in No:4
Comment 8 Thiago Macieira 2005-11-28 02:13:42 UTC
No, there's no restriction on what gets copied
Comment 9 Gaffer 2005-11-28 13:38:51 UTC
In that case my comment in No:4 stands.

Copy and paste from an Email works for the login, but not for the password on the bug report page !!
Comment 10 Gaffer 2005-11-30 22:20:53 UTC
I notice that the STATUS is marked resolved !!

This does not resolve the problem for me !!  As far as I can see saying that it works for you is not a solution to the problem that I suffer from.
Comment 11 Thiago Macieira 2005-12-01 03:14:20 UTC
Right. I had closed when your problem seemed simpler.
Comment 12 Martin Koller 2009-08-23 21:56:55 UTC
As far as I understand this issue, it's saying the password from within an URL is not copied when I select "Copy Link Address" from with kmail.

I tested this with KDE 4.3 and it works.
