Must say that like many others I had the habit of double clicking a URL in
order to copy it - a task which I repeatedly do in my work as to paste the URL
in a text editor in order to track report URLs which I'm spawning via the
terminal.
It seems to me that the fact that many users relied on thi

Ctrl+click opens the URL in your preferred browser.
Do you often need to copy the URL into your clipboard instead? I guess
Ctrl+Shift+click could be made to do that, sounds reasonable to me
(although will be a hard to discover feature).
Could you please file a feature request at bugzilla.gnome.or
For me selecting a link using double click is faster than using the
right-click context menu (overall don't like menus as I can't use them
quickly). To me that's a regression (I can't select URLs as fast as I
used to), but that doesn't mean that bringing back the old double-click
behavior is the ri
If you want an apple, as for an apple. If you want a pear, ask for a
pear. What you do is you want a pear, yet you ask for an apple and
expect to receive the kind of apple that tastes as close to pear as
possible. And even though you can configure the kind of the apple you'll
receive, it's still no

Really? Which design is that?
And regardless of whether or not double click is meant to select URLs,
it's a literal fact that it did in fact (largely) select URLs for many
years.

I "love" how much people still complain and fail to understand the
previous comments...
So let me try it once again...
Double clicking, by design, is _not_ meant to select URLs.
Double clicking selects a continuous sequence of certain (configurable)
characters, and it has do be able to do this e
FYI, this is still an issue on 16.04. The technique in comment #4
continues to work.

Not sure whether this is a bug, but I liked the previous behavior.
Though I didn't know that there was a "Copy Link Address" feature in the
right-click menu, will just get used to that, thanks Egmont.

This bug is annoying since it make the whole process of copy/paste an
url to a specific browser heavier. Futhermore, by default URL without
specified scheme will be opened as file:/// on most browser.

Title:

Quite ugly "bug" :( I had the habit "since ages" (ehhh) to work in
terminal windows, and copy&paste URLs etc. It worked nicely with a quick
double click on the URL which does not work anymore after upgrade to

Double click is not meant to select a URL (there's an option in the
right click menu for that), and adding colon to the list of word-chars
won't fix it either. E.g. if you have a URL with a trailing dot (which
strictly speaking could be a part of the URL, but usually denotes the
end of a sentence)

This is a quite annoying bug for gnome-terminal users. I strongly
suggest Ubuntu distro patches so that highlighting URLs works again. If
this can't be done in time, we should have a release note with
instructions on how users can fix it themselves.

The double click behavior doesn't care about URLs at all. It considers
certain characters as part of a word, certain others are not. There were
many debates specifically around whether ':' should be a word character
or not by default.
Unfortunately the setting is not available on the UI; see
