* TITLE/SUMMARY Copy bookmark ---> doesn't gracefully paste as plain text * STEPS TO REPRODUCE 0) Launch Seamonkey 1) From the Bookmarks menu, select "Manage Bookmarks..." 2) Click on a bookmark, and select "Copy" from the Edit menu 3) Launch a text editor (SimpleText on Mac OS & WordPad on Windows) 4) Click "Paste" from the Edit menu. * RESULT - What happened On each platform, the following is pasted: ID:{http://home.netscape.com/bookmark/6_0b1/ entertainmentnews.html};NAME:{Entertainment News}; If copying a folder: ID:{NC:BookmarksRoot#$31bfecc7};NAME:{News and Sports}; If copying separator: ID:{NC:BookmarksRoot#$43924d82};NAME:{-----}; - What was expected On Windows, IE specifically pastes bookmarks as URLs with icon. On Mac OS, there's no way I can find using Communicator or IE to copy an entire bookmark line, so graceful degradation of URLs to plaintext isn't an issue. Thanks to mpt@mailandnews.com for suggesting this test case. * REGRESSION - Occurs On Mac OS Seamonkey (3.21.00 AM optimized build) Win32 Seamonkey (3.21.00 AM optimized build [NT 4, Service Pack 5]) - Doesn't Occur On any other browser (IE 5 Win, IE 4.5 Mac, etc) * CONFIGURATIONS TESTED - [Mac] Beige Power Mac G3 (266 MHz PowerPC 750), 96 MB RAM (VM on; 1 MB of VM used), 1024x768 (Thousands of Colors), Mac OS 8.6 - [Win32] Vectra VL (233 MHz P2), 96 MB RAM, 800x600 (True Color), NT 4.0 SP5. - [Linux] Vectra VL (266 MHz P2), 96 MB RAM.

And when pasting a bookmark into an HTML context (such as Composer), you should get <a href="bookmark URL">Bookmark title</a>.

Fixed.

Hmm...this looks great on this morning's Mac OS Mozilla and Win32 commercial builds. (Specifically, I can copy a bookmark and paste it plaintext as URL, or as a link into Composer as mpt suggests. Moreover, copying folders & separator bars doesn't yield pasteable plaintext or rich text output.) However, on this morning's Linux commercial build, bookmarks aren't copyable at all, whereas other text is. So, I'm re-opening this bug. rjc, I'd be happy to split off the Linux side-issue into a separate bug report (and investigate it further) if you'd prefer.

Err, I misspoke --- you can _copy_ bookmarks on Linux, but nothing comes out if you paste them. ;)

Okay. There's a deeper copy/paste problem on Linux. Verifying this bug as fixed.

I have to specify a comment on this change, so here are some meaningless words on the reason for my change.
