I am almost certain it's a Chromium bug. Here's a non-Evo test case exposing the same problem: With a bleeding-edge daily build of Chromium (version “6.0.453.0 (51332)”), if I paste the URL text from the address bar into Open Office Writer (version 3.1) with ctrl-v, it brings up an “insert section” dialog, which if you click “ok”, also pastes the web page's contents, and not the link. However, if you do the same thing with Firefox, it works fine, and pastes the link, and not the web page's contents. Therefore, it sounds like Chromium's setting of the data types for copied address bar content is currently a bit broken. Evolution's handling of pasted data types has gotten smarter in 2.30, all that's happened here is that this improvement has exposed a separate pre-existing problem in another bit of software, whereas previously by sheer accident of history the two sub-optimal behaviours cancelled each other out. I can definitely empathise with your frustration, but surely the path forwards is for that broken software to be fixed, not for Evo to go back to the old approach of ignoring the pasted content's data type. -- All the best, Nick. _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
