Comment #19 on issue 19508 by [email protected]: url highlighting selection is wrong on Linux http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=19508
I think it's important to have some way to change and delete the URL without clobbering the X-selection clipboard, because it's rude when applications unexpectedly do that. I think that's why Firefox implemented their exception to the "selecting overwrites the selection buffer" rule--because otherwise, there would be no way to delete the URL and paste a new one from the selection buffer. (For the record, using a keyboard shortcut to highlight the URL will not clobber the buffer, but any more manual method--double clicking, clicking then doing "select all", manually click+dragging the mouse--will clobber the selection buffer.) I think it's also important for there to be some way to change the URL without wiping out the selection buffer--to change "index1.html" to "index2.html", and neither deleting the whole URL, nor clobbering the selection buffer. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
